We’re gonna rock, we’re gonna roll
Unil the mornin’ light

Beause I’m ready, uh-huh

Now you better come and go with me

We’re gonna rock and roll
‘Til tomorrow ’bout three

Now talking on the phone, baby, ain’t my speed
Don’t write me no letters ’cause I can’t read
It won’t be long ’cause I been told
We’re gonna rock and roll all night long

Don’t write me no letters ’cause I can’t read

To rock and roll tonight

Come on, pretty baby
We’re gonna rock, we’re gonna roll
