G Up in the morninʼ and off to school The teacher is teachinʼ the golden rule C American histʼry and practical math G Youʼre studyinʼ hard, hopinʼ to pass D Workinʼ your fingers right down to the bone C7 G And the guy behind you wonʼt leave you alone Ring ring, goes the bell The cook in the lunchroomʼs ready to sell Youʼre lucky if you can find a seat Youʼre fortunate if you have time to eat Back in the classroom, open your books Bet the teacher donʼt know how mean she looks Soon as 3:00 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 through the corner and round the bend Right to the juke joint you go in Drop the coin right into the slot You gotta hear somethinʼ thatʼs really hot With the one you love youʼre makinʼ romance All day long youʼve been wantinʼ to dance Feelinʼ the music from head to toe Round and round and round you go Hail, hail, rock ʼnʼ roll! Deliver me from the days of old Long live rock ʼnʼ roll The beat of the drums loud and bold Rock, rock, rock ʼnʼ roll The feelinʼ is there, body and soul
