Well you can tell everyone I’m a down disgrace  
Drag my name all over the place  
I don’t care anymore

You can tell everybody 'bout the state I’m in  
You won’t catch me crying 'cause I just can’t win  
I don’t care anymore

Buddy, you’re a boy, make a big noise  
Playing in the street  
Gonna be a big man someday  
You got mud on your face  
You big disgrace  
Kicking your can all over the place, singing  
We will, we will rock you  
We will, we will rock you

That I have never been loved like this before

From the heart of Dixie

Someone who ain’t, ooh the hurting kind  
Oh, if you stay the night, oh yeah

Rock me, rock me  
Roll me through the night  
Rock me, rock me  
Roll me through the night  
Rock me, rock me  
Roll me through the night  
We’ll burn in love tonight

If there’s a Rock show at the Concertgebow,

There’ll be long hair  
At the Madison square

Rock n Roll,  
At the Hollywood bowl…

We’ll be there,  
Be there…

Just got back from the downtown Palais  
Where the music was so sweet  
It knocked me right back in the alley  
I’m ready, yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m ready  
Woah, woah, woah, I’m ready  
And I’m really gonna rock tonight

Sweet little lady sings like a songbird  
And she sings the opera like you ain’t never heard  
But she ain’t ready  
No, no, no, she ain’t ready  
No, no, no, she ain’t ready  
And she ain’t gonna rock and roll

Some things never change,  
they stay the way they are.  
You were born to rock,  
you’ll never be an opera star  
Some things never change,  
they stay the way they are.

Don’t care to hear ‘em play a tango  
I’m in the mood to dig a mambo  
It’s way too early for a congo  
So keep a-rockin’ that piano

So I can hear some of that rock and roll music  
Any old way you choose it  
It’s got a backbeat, you can’t lose it  
Any old time you use it  
It’s gotta be rock and roll music  
If you wanna dance with me  
If you wanna dance with me

Give me that old-time religion  
Give me that old-time religion  
Give me that old-time religion  
It’s good enough for me

It will take us all to heaven  
It will take us all to heaven  
It will take us all to heaven  
And it’s good enough for me

One-eyed Odin we will follow  
And in fighting we will wallow  
Till we wind up in Valhallow  
Which is good enough for me!

It was good enough for Odin  
Though the tremblin’ got forbodin’  
Then the giants finally strode in,  
But it’s good enough for me!

When the fever’s high  
You could hope to die  
But there’s feelings that still have to be felt  
It’s the things you do  
To get you through  
While you’re waiting for the ice cream to melt
