Rockin’ ‘n’ Reelin’ [English Version]
[Verse 1]
Years ago, when rock‘n’roll was young
I could never get my homework done
I played sweet music all night
Then my teacher was out of sight

[Pre-Chorus]
And I pinned posters on the wall
Of Ringo, George and John and Paul
No one cut the hair on my head
I grew it longer instead

[Chorus]
'Cause oh, yeah, rockin' 'n' reelin'
Oh, yeah, rockin' 'n' reelin'
Made me hit the ceiling
Oh yeah, rockin' 'n' reelin' is alright

[Bridge]
Every top of pop music
Had you at my heart
Every knock-off rock music
Hit me from the start

[Chorus]
'Cause oh, yeah, rockin' 'n' reelin'
Oh, yeah, rockin' 'n' reelin'
Ain't it good, that feeling?
Oh yeah, rockin' 'n' reelin' is alright
[Verse 2]
Every kid would like to be a star
And all I needеd was an old guitar
I found a girl in my hand
Then I joined a rock‘n’roll band

[Pre-Chorus]
We only knеw one single song
But everybody danced along
Then we came around to the end
We were asked to play it again

[Chorus]
'Cause oh, yeah, rockin' 'n' reelin'
Oh, yeah, rockin' 'n' reelin'
Made me hit the ceiling
Oh yeah, rockin' 'n' reelin' is alright

[Bridge]
Every top of pop music
Had you at my heart
Every knock-off rock music
Hit me from the start

[Chorus]
'Cause oh, yeah, rockin' 'n' reelin'
Oh, yeah, rockin' 'n' reelin'
Ain't it good, that feeling?
Oh yeah, rockin' 'n' reelin' is alright
Oh, yeah, rockin' 'n' reelin'
Oh, yeah, rockin' 'n' reelin'
Made me hit the ceiling
Oh yeah, rockin' 'n' reelin' is alright
[Outro/Chorus]
Oh, yeah, rockin' 'n' reelin'
Oh, yeah, rockin' 'n' reelin'
Ain't it good, that feeling?
Oh yeah, rockin' 'n' reelin'
Rockin' 'n' reelin', rockin' 'n' reelin'
Is alright
