[Verse 1]
N.C.                           G
  Up in the mornin' and out to school,
 
The teacher is teachin' the Golden Rule,
                               C
American history and practical math,
                                 G
You study 'em hard and hopin' to pass.
                                       D
Workin' your fingers right down to the bone,
        D7                              G
And the guy behind you won't leave you alone.
 
[Verse 2]
N.C.                  G
  Ring, ring goes the bell.
 
The cook in the lunch room's ready to sell.
                               C
You're lucky if you can find a seat,
                                     G
You're fortunate if you have time to eat.
                                 D
Back in the classroom, open your books,
D7                                             G
  Gee, but the teacher don't know how mean she looks.
 
[Verse 3]
N.C.                              G
     Soon as three o'clock rolls around,
 
You finally lay your burden down.
                                     C
Close up your books, get out of your seat,
                            G
Down the halls and into the street.
                                D
Up to the corner and 'round the bend,
             D7                 G
Right to the juke joint, you go in.
 
[Verse 4]
N.C.                              G
     Drop the coin right into the slot,
 
You've gotta hear somethin' that's really hot.
                                       C
With the one you love, you're makin' romance,
                                 G
All day long you been wantin' to dance,
                               D
Feeling the music from head to toe,
          D7                   G
Round and round and round you go.

[Verse 5]
N.C.                              G
     Drop the coin right into the slot,
 
You've gotta hear somethin' that's really hot.
                                       C
With the one you love, you're makin' romance,
                                 G
All day long you been wantin' to dance,
                               D
Feeling the music from head to toe,
          D7                   G
Round and round and round you go.
 
[Verse 6]
N.C.                      G
      Hail, hail rock and roll!
 
Deliver me from the days of old,
G7                 C
Long live rock and roll,
                                G
The beat of the drums, loud and bold.
N.C.                 D
Rock, rock, rock and roll,
    D7                         G              Ab  G
The feelin' is there, body and soul.
