Down on the corner, out in the street  
Willy and the poor boys are playin’;  
Bring a nickel. Tap your feet.

Put another nickel in  
In the nickelodeon  
All I ever want from you is music

I love rock and roll  
So put another dime in the jukebox baby  
I love rock and roll  
So come and take your time and dance with me

And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced  
We were liars in love and we danced  
Swept away for a moment by chance  
And we danced and danced danced

And it was just like a great dark wind  
Within the wings of a storm  
And I think I had met my match  
He was singin’ to me  
And undoing and undoing  
The laces, the laces

Swing your hammer to crack the sky  
Lift your cape so that you might fly  
Back to Odin and the gods on high  
And leave this mortal world

</div>

We come from the land of the ice and snow,  
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.  
The Hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,  
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!

Why try? I know why  
This feeling inside me says it’s time I was gone  
Clear head, life ahead  
It’s time I was king, now not just one more pawn

Canadian mounted, baby  
Police force at work  
Red and black  
It’s their color scheme  
Get their man  
In the end  
It’s all right.

Do a little dance  
Make a little love  
Get down tonight

You take my body -

I suck your mind  
You blow my head  
Make love -  
Inside your bed - everybody get down make love

Touch me baby, can’t you see?

Cos I, wanna love you, til the heavens

The crowd had rushed together  
Trying to keep warm  
And still the rain kept falling  
falling on my head  
And I wonder still I wonder  
Who’ll stop the rain

Falling from my eye-eyes  
Falling from my eyes

It’s raining today.  
And I watch the cellophane streets  
No hang-ups for me  
'Cause hang-ups need company  
The street corner girl’s a cold trembling leaf  
It’s raining today
