Up in the morning and out to school The teacher is teaching the Golden Rule American history and practical math You studying hard and hoping to pass Working your fingers right down to the bone 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 Keep up 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 around the bend Right to the juke joint, you go in Drop the coin right into the slot You're got to hear something that's really hot With the one you love, you're making romance All day long you been wanting 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 feeling is there, body and soul
