Up in the morning and off to school The teacher is teaching the golden rule American history and practical math You're studying hard and hoping to pass Working those French right down to the bone Better check behind you won't leave me alone Ring, ring goes the bell They're cooking the lunches ready to sell You're lucky if you can find a seat You're fortunate if you get time to eat Back in the classroom open your books Even the teacher don't know how mean she looks Soon as three o'clock rolls around You finally lay your burdens down Close your books get out of your seat Down the halls and into the street Off to the corner around the bend Right to the jukeshop you go in Drop the coin right in the slot You gotta have something that's really hot With the one you love you're making romance All day long you had wanted to dance Feel like the music from head to toe Round and round and round you go Hail, hail rock and roll The beat of the drums loud and bold Long live rock and roll Deliver from the days of gold Rock, rock, rock and roll The feeling's there body and soul.
