Lyrics

[00:02.92] Up in the mornin' and out to school
[00:06.48] The teacher is teachin' the Golden Rule
[00:10.04] American history and practical math
[00:13.79] You studyin' hard and hopin' to pass
[00:17.42] Workin' your fingers right down to the bone
[00:20.98] And the guy behind you won't leave you alone
[00:24.92] Ring ring goes the bell
[00:28.48] The cook in the lunch room's ready to sell
[00:32.10] You're lucky if you can find a seat
[00:35.79] You're fortunate if you have time to eat
[00:39.60] Back in the classroom open your books
[00:43.11] Gee but the teacher don't know how mean she looks
[00:46.92] Soon as three o'clock rolls around
[00:50.54] You finally lay your burden down
[00:54.08] Close up your books get out of your seat
[00:57.77] Down the halls and into the street
[01:01.40] Up to the corner and 'round the bend
[01:05.08] Right to the juke joint you go in
[01:08.71] Drop the coin right into the slot
[01:12.46] You're gotta hear somethin' that's really hot
[01:15.95] With the one you love you're makin' romance
[01:19.83] All day long you been wantin' to dance
[01:23.46] Feeling the music from head to toe
[01:27.14] Round and round and round we go
[01:53.00] Drop the coin right into the slot
[01:56.25] You're gotta hear somethin' that's really hot
[01:59.82] With the one you love you're makin' romance
[02:03.57] All day long you been wantin' to dance
[02:07.19] Feeling the music from head to toe
[02:10.88] Round and round and round we go
[02:14.69] Hail hail rock and roll
[02:18.38] Deliver me from the days of old
[02:22.01] Long live rock and roll
[02:25.82] The beat of the drum is loud and bold
[02:29.26] Rock rock rock and roll
[02:33.01] The feelin' is there body and soul
