Lyrics

[00:02.70] Up in the mornin' and out to school
[00:06.35] The teacher is teachin' the Golden Rule
[00:10.04] American history and practical math
[00:13.77] You studyin' hard and hopin' to pass
[00:17.41] Workin' your fingers right down to the bone
[00:21.01] And the guy behind you won't leave you alone
[00:24.62] Ring, ring goes the bell
[00:28.43] The cook in the lunch room's ready to sell
[00:32.08] You're lucky if you can find a seat
[00:35.76] You're fortunate if you have time to eat
[00:39.50] Back in the classroom, open your books
[00:43.04] Gee but the teacher don't know how mean she looks
[00:46.88] Soon as three o'clock rolls around
[00:50.44] You finally lay your burden down
[00:54.04] Close up your books, get out of your seat
[00:57.74] Down the halls and into the street
[01:01.44] Up to the corner and 'round the bend
[01:05.00] Right to the juke joint, you go in
[01:08.96] Drop the coin right into the slot
[01:12.48] You're gotta hear somethin' that's really hot
[01:16.08] With the one you love, you're makin' romance
[01:19.86] All day long you been wantin' to dance,
[01:23.50] Feeling the music from head to toe
[01:27.21] Round and round and round we go
[01:52.79] Drop the coin right into the slot
[01:56.41] You're gotta hear somethin' that's really hot
[01:59.95] With the one you love, you're makin' romance
[02:03.75] All day long you been wantin' to dance,
[02:07.48] Feeling the music from head to toe
[02:11.11] Round and round and round we go
[02:14.98] Hail, hail rock and roll
[02:18.58] Deliver me from the days of old
[02:22.10] Long live rock and roll
[02:25.85] The beat of the drum is loud and bold
[02:29.43] Rock, rock, rock and roll
[02:33.18] The feelin' is there, body and soul.
[02:34.47]
