Up in the morning and out to school
The teacher is teaching the golden rule
American history and practical maths
[You] Studyin` 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 is ready to sell [kitchen`s ready to sell]
[But] You`re lucky if you can find a seat
You`re fortunate if you have time to eat
[Well] Back in the classroom open your books
Gee but the teacher don`t know how mean she looks
Hail hail rock `n` roll
[As] Soon as 3 o`clock rolls aroun`
You finally lay your burden down
Throw down your books and out of your seat
You go down the hallway, into the street
And you`re tryin` to forget just where you`ve been
You find a juke joint, you go in
Drop the quarter into the slot
You gotta hear something that`s really hot
With the one you love you`re makin` romance
All day long you`ve been wanting to dance
Feeling the music from head to toe
Round and round and round you go
Long live rock `n` roll
Rock, rock, rock `n` roll
