Up in the morning and out to school
The teacher is teaching the golden rule
American history and practical math
You study them hard, hoping to pass
Working your fingers right down to the bone
But the guy behind will leave you alone
Ring, ring goes the bell
The cook in the lunchroom'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 book
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 book, get out of here
Get out of your seat
Down the hall and into the street
Up to the corner and round the bend
Right to the jute joint you go in
Drop a coin right into the slot
You gotta hear something that's really hot
With the one you love, you're making romance
All day long you've been wanting to dance
Feeling the music from the house
From head to toe
Around and round and round you go
Hello, hello, hello, hello chance to hang out here

Rock and roll, deliver me from the days of gold
Long live rock and roll, the beat of the drums are loud and bold
Rock, rock, rock and roll, the feeling is there, body and soul
Rock and roll, deliver me from the days of gold
