Up in the mornin and out to school
The teacher is teachin the Golden Rule
American history and practical math
You studyin hard and hopin to pass
Workin your fingers right down to the bone
ab7
And the guy behind you won t leave you alone
Ring, ring goes the bell
The cook in the lunch room 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 your 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 re gotta hear somethin that s really hot
With the one you love, you re makin romance
All day long you been wantin to dance,
Feeling the music from head to toe
Round and round and round we go
Hail, hail rock and roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Long live rock and roll
The beat of the drums, loud and bold
Rock, rock, rock and roll
The feelin is there, body and soul.
