Up in the mornin' and out to school

The teacher is teachin' the Golden Rule

American history and practical math

You study' em hard and hopin' to pass

Workin' your fingers right down to the bone

And the guy behind you won't leave you alone



Ring ring goes the bell

The cook in the lunchroom's ready to sell

You're lucky if you can find a seat

You're fortunate if you have time to eat

Back in the classroom open you books

Gee but the teacher don't know

How mean she looks



Soon as three o'clock rolls around

You finally lay your burden down

Close up your books, get out of your seat



Down the halls and into the street

Up to the corner and 'round the bend

Right to the juke joint you go in



*Drop the coin right into the slot

You gotta hear something that's really hot



With the one you love you're makin' romance

All day long you been

Wantin' to dance

Feelin' the music from head to toe

'Round and 'round and 'round you go



(*Repeat)



Hail, hail rock'n'roll

Deliver me from the days of old

Long live rock'n'roll

The beat of the drum is loud and bold

Rock rock rock'n'roll

The feelin' is there body and soul
