When I drove into that parking lot For the first time peepers round was on the dot By the stink of that cop, ain't got a lot Well we were lookin' for a place to play We high-tailed over to one-eyed Jack With a cheap guitar strung over my back Well I looked pretty nervous, I can't turn back This guy was everything the driver said, yeah Well we were all right We're gonna rock and roll tonight Hey knock, don't lean on the record machine Or mess around with the big red light Well it was all right We gotta rock and roll tonight And Bun E's on the ground Goin' round and round 'Cause his baby's cut her jeans too tight Well lazy Jack, doesn't move too well Play it back real loud, a real rebel yell Buy a rock and roll record and make it sell I'm gonna make it to the top today Now I got pulled in some big demand And they all keep telling me be a one-man band Unless I get big stuff and a real cool band And boy you gotta hear me play, yeah Well we were all right We're gonna rock and roll tonight Hey knock, don't lean on the record machine Or mess around with the big red light Well it was all right We gotta rock and roll tonight And Bun E's on the ground Goin' round and round 'Cause his baby's cut her jeans too tight Well they heard some sounds in the songs we wrote Welcome back by paying you note for note Been a long time playin' that rock and roll Not a thing's gonna touch me now Gonna rock your town if anybody could Drive a big limousine down to Hollywood Even bought a nice home in your neighborhood But we have to keep the curtains drawn Yeah, yeah, yeah Well we were all right We're gonna rock and roll tonight Hey knock, don't lean on the record machine Or mess around with the big red light Well it was all right We gotta rock and roll tonight And Bun E's on the ground Goin' round and round 'Cause his baby's got her jeans too tight We were all right We're gonna rock and roll tonight, rock and roll tonight And Bun E's on the ground Goin' round and round 'Cause his baby's cut her jeans too tight
