Some friends of mine and me stayed up all through the night
Rocking pretty steady till the sky went light
And didn't go to bed
Didn't go to work
I picked up the telephone
Told the boss he was a jerk
Your mama don't like it when you run around
With me
But we got to hip your mama
That you got to live free
Don't need her. Don't need school
You don't like your daddy and you don't like rules
So, come on baby let's go
Don't you hear the rock 'n' roll playing on the radio
Sound so right?
Girl your better grab hold
Everybody's got to know
Anything that's rock 'n' roll's fine [x2]
Oh oo oh my little baby
I'm a little bit shaking
I'm a little bit crazy
But I know what I want
I want to it right now
While the electric guitars are playing way up loud
(Chorus)
Rocking pretty steady till the sky went light
And didn't go to bed
Didn't go to work
I picked up the telephone
Told the boss he was a jerk
Your mama don't like it when you run around
With me
But we got to hip your mama
That you got to live free
Don't need her. Don't need school
You don't like your daddy and you don't like rules
So, come on baby let's go
Don't you hear the rock 'n' roll playing on the radio
Sound so right?
Girl your better grab hold
Everybody's got to know
Anything that's rock 'n' roll's fine [x2]
Oh oo oh my little baby
I'm a little bit shaking
I'm a little bit crazy
But I know what I want
I want to it right now
While the electric guitars are playing way up loud
(Chorus)
