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
