Once upon a time not so long ago

This boy he took to the stage

He wandered around like a travelling show

But one thing filled him with rage

While singing the song that thawed his heart

People would walk to the bar

The lights would go down

The music would start

He couldn't get very far



Until one night...



Kick off the beat and bring on the bass

Everyone turn to look at my face

'Cause all I want

Is the best of order, baby.

My life is up if your life is down

Wouldn't you like to rock this town?

'Cause all I want

Is the best of order, baby.



Now standing all alone

Looking through the smoke

This kid he started to grin

He's tryin' ta compete with bingo and jokes

There's no use trying to win!



Until one night...



Kick on the beat and bring on the bass

Everyone turn to look at my face

'Cause all I want

Is the best of order, baby.

My life is up when your life is down

Wouldn't you like to rock this town?

'Cause all I want

Is the best of order, baby.



Kick on the beat and bring on the bass

Everyone turn to look at my face

'Cause all I want

Is the best of order, baby.

My life is up when your life is down

Wouldn't you like to rock this town?

'Cause all I want

Is the best of order, baby.



You never even know what you're missing

Why doncha pay attention and listen?

Someone's tryin' ta blow your mind away!

Why doncha turn around and Im hoping

Two people in the front will stop groping

Someones tryin' ta blow your mind away!



Kick on the beat and bring on the bass

Everyone turn to look at my face

'Cause all I want

Is the best of order, baby.

My life is up when your life is down

Wouldn't you like to rock this town?

'Cause all I want

Is the best of order, baby.



Kick on the beat and bring on the bass

Everyone turn to look at my face

'Cause all I want

Is the best of order, baby.

My life is up when your life is down

Is the best of order, baby.



Kick on the beat and bring on the bass
