Sometimes I will then again I think I won’t

Sometimes I will, then again I think I won’t
Sometimes I will, then again I think I won’t
Sometimes I do, then again I think I don’t

Looked at my watch and it was quarter to one
I said come’on baby let’s have a little fun!

And we’re reelin’,
Reelin’, rockin’, rollin’,
Reelin’, rockin’, rollin’ until the break of dawn.

Looked at my watch and it was quarter to two
You know she said she didn’t but I know she do!

Looked at my watch and it was quarter to three
She said: “Wait a minut Chuck I gotta go…”
“Bring me a coca cola please!”

Looked at my watch and it was quarter to four
You know she turned me round and said: “We do it some more!”

Looked at my watch and it was quarter to five
And I didn’t know if I was dead or alive

Looked at my watch and it was quarter to five
We were rolling like Mustang on a four-wheel-drive

Looked at my watch and it was quarter to six
I know it took a little time, but I finally got my fix

Looked at my watch and it was quarter to six
Man I jump back firm like a cement mix

Looked at my watch and it was quarter to seven
We light a cigarette and took a trip up to heaven

Looked at my watch and it was quarter to eight
You know she made a little move and made me stretch out straight

Looked at my watch and it was quarter to nine
Ooh, Chuck, baby, that show feeled fine!

Looked at my watch and it was quarter to ten
You know she called me right back and me do it again!

Looked at my watch and it was eleven thirty
She turned back, and called myself dirty, you know why?

You know why? You know why? I just can’t tell you why!

Looked at my watch and it was straight up twelve
Man we started diggin’ like an ole steam-shovel

We boogied in the kitchen, we boogied in the hall. I got some on my finger so I wiped it on the wall.

And we’re reelin’, rollin’ until the break of dawn.
