This Ole House/Dancin’ Party/Rock Around the Clock
[This Ole House]
This ole house once rang with laughter
This ole house heard many shouts
Now she trembles in the darkness
When the lightnin' walks about

Ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor

Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window-pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints

This ole house is gettin' shaky
This ole house is gettin' old
This ole house lеts in the rain
This ole house lеts in the cold

Now my knees are gettin' chilly
But I feel no fear or pain
'Cause I see an angel peekin'
Through a broken window-pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor

Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window-pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints

[Dancin’ Party]
Everybody say - yeah yeah
Yeah yeah - yeah yeah
Yeah yeah - yeah yeah
Are you ready - yeah

Let's have a ball at the hall tonight
Booth the girl with the early blight
Make a scene with the record machine
At the dancin' party tonight

Come on let's fry the potatoes too
Watusi girl is the dance to do
Twist and shout till we knock ourselves out
At the dancin' party tonight
'Cause winter time is party time
And everything's alright
'Cause everyone is feelin' fine
And every night is Saturday night

Come on let's fry the potatoes too
Watusi girl is the dance to do
Twist and shout till we knock ourselves out
At the dancin' party tonight

[Rock Around the Clock]
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

Put your glad rags on and join me now
We'll 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
If the band slows down we'll yell for more
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
