Sittin' in the classroom feel your heart thumpin'
|
start to get the feelin'
|
your head begins to reel n'
|
you can't hear what the teacher say
|
because the news is going down
|
'bout the rock and roll band in town
|
and you know you just gotta hear that band play
|
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
|
Oh tonight
|
On Tuesday comes a letter
|
well the army thinks I better
|
get myself down there right away
|
Well it's not that I'm lazy
|
but I'm just too crazy
|
to go do things that way
|
'cause the kids will be in town and the jams are goin' down
|
gotta do things the natural way
|
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
|
Oh tonight
|
Everyday, gonna hear them say
|
gonna get down in the USA tonight
|
OK kids...it's rockin' time!!
|
Everyday, gonna hear them say
|
gonna get down in the USA tonight
|
The sun starts goin' down
|
call my girl up on the phone
|
said I'll pick you up at 8
|
at last we'll be alone
|
I hop in my machine
|
you know I've gotta make the scene
|
but I'm dancin' to the ground
|
there's people going wild
|
when the band's really rockin' and there's no stoppin'
|
the room begins to whirl
|
the room begins to twirl
|
It's outta this world
|
it's outta this world
|
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
|
Oh tonight
|
And then the man on the record says 'hey now everybody
|
I gotta get movin', I gotta go downtown and hustle me up
|
some ACK-shun' Oh well I'll see you all later...
|
Well bye bye
|
bye
|
