One, two, three, four

One two three o'clock, four o'clock rock
Five six seven o'clock, eight o'clock rock
Nine ten eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock rock
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight

So put your glad rags on and join me hon'
We're gonna have some fun when the clock strikes one

We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock rock rock till the broad daylight
We're gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight

When the clock strikes two, three and four
When the dance slows down, we're gonna yell for more

We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock rock rock till the broad daylight
Rock, rock, rock around the clock tonight

Alright, right right

The chimes ring five then six and seven
Oh we'll be dancing in seventh heaven

We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock rock rock till the broad daylight
Rock, rock, rock around the clock tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

When it's eight, nine, ten, eleven too
I'll be going strong and so will you

We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock rock rock till the broad daylight
We're gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

When the clock strikes twelve and it's time to end
We'll start to rockin' round the clock again

We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen
