When I pulled into that parking lot
For a bad time keeper I was on the dot
But the springs of that clock ain't got a lot
We were lookin' for a place to play
We high-tailed over to one-eyed Jack's
With a cheap guitar slung over my back
But I looked pretty nervous and that's a fact
It's down to everything I tried to say

Now this stone-cold cat looks big and mean
Holdin' some sort of court down in New Orleans
It's a one way ticket on a can of beans
It's there and we played for free
Well I soon got into this famous tune
I even tuned my guitar in a neighbor's room
So I hit that chord, she hit a boom
[?] Has got his eye on me

But it was all right, we're gonna rock and roll tonight
Hey man don't lean on the record machine
Or mess around with the big red light
But it was all right, we're gonna rock and roll tonight
[?]Cause her baby's got her jeans too tight

Well a lazy job doesn't move too well
But we'll do it do it now with a rebel yell
'Bout a rock and roll record and makin' it sell
Gotta play it to the top today
Well I got pulled in of some big demand
It ain't no good callin' me a one man band
I guess I'll get mixed up in a real cool band
And, boy, ya gotta hear them play
Well they heard some sounds in the songs we wrote
Well let my baby[?]
[?]
Not a thing can touch us now
Rock your town, gonna rock ya' good
Drive a big limousine down in Hollywood
Even bought a nice home in your neighborhood
But we have to keep the curtains down

But it was all right, we're gonna rock and roll tonight
Hey dad don't lean on the record machine
Or mess around with the big red light
Yes it was all right, we're gonna rock and roll tonight
Jody's on the ground goin' round and round
'Cause her baby's got her jeans too tight

But it was all right, we're gonna rock and roll tonight
Hey dad don't lean on the record machine
Or mess around with the big red light
Yes it was all right, we're gonna rock and roll tonight
Jody's on the ground goin' round and round
'Cause her baby's got her jeans too tight
