Well I was sixteen and sick of school
I didn't know what I wanted to do
I bought a guitar, I got the fever
That's rock 'n' roll

I played at parties, played in bars
I spent my money buyin' new guitars
I screamed my heart out, but how I loved it
That's rock 'n' roll

Well, come on everybody, get down and get with it
Come on everybody, get down and get with it
Come on everybody, get down, that's rock 'n' roll

It's when the smokin' and the heat
Have got your heart pounding right with the beat
Don't try to fight it, just get excited
That's rock 'n' roll

Well it's the roadies and the crowd
It's when the band's playing way too loud
Your hips are shaking, hey no mistakin'
That's rock 'n' roll

Well, come on everybody, get down and get with it
Come on everybody, get down and get with it
Come on everybody, get down, that's rock 'n' roll, yeah

Well, come on everybody, get down and get with it
Come on everybody, get down and get with it
Come on everybody, get down, that's rock 'n' roll

Now don't you worry 'bout bein' a star
It doesn't matter who or what you are
Just get the rhythm and let it fill ya
That's rock 'n' roll-oll-oll-oll-oll

And if you feel it, clap your hands
Let's see some sweatin' for the boys in the band
Now lemme hear ya, lemme hear ya
That's rock 'n' roll

Come on everybody, get down and get with it
Come on everybody, get down and get with it
Come on everybody, get down, that's rock 'n' roll, yeah

Well, come on everybody, get down and get with it
Come on everybody, get down and get with it
Come on everybody, get down, that's rock 'n' roll, yeah, yeah

Well, come on everybody, get down and get with it
Come on everybody, get down and get with it
Come on everybody, get down, that's rock 'n' roll
