(r. tyner, w. kramer, f. smith)   Motor city music, cotillion music (bmi)      Sittin' in the classroom feel your heart thumpin'   Start to get the feelin'   Your head begins to reel n'   You can't hear what the teacher say   Because the news is going down   'bout the rock and roll band in town   And you know you just gotta hear that band play   Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)   Oh tonight   On tuesday comes a letter   Well the army thinks I better   Get myself down there right away   Well it's not that I'm lazy   But I'm just too crazy   To go do things that way   'cause the kids will be in town and the jams are goin' down   Gotta do things the natural way   Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)   Oh tonight   Everyday, gonna hear them say   Gonna get down in the usa tonight   Ok kids...it's rockin' time!!   Everyday, gonna hear them say   Gonna get down in the usa tonight   The sun starts goin' down   Call my girl up on the phone   Said I'll pick you up at 8   At last we'll be alone   I hop in my machine   You know I've gotta make the scene   But I'm dancin' to the ground   There's people going wild   When the band's really rockin' and there's no stoppin'   The room begins to whirl   The room begins to twirl   It's outta this world   It's outta this world   Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)   Oh tonight   And then the man on the record says 'hey now everybody   I gotta get movin', I gotta go downtown and hustle me up   Some ack-shun' oh well I'll see you all later...   Well bye bye   Bye
