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   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 drum is loud and bold   Rock, rock, rock and roll   The feelin' is there, body and soul.
