Well I was sixteen, sick of school, I didn't know what I wanted to do, I bought a guitar, I got the fever, That's rock 'n' roll. I played at parties, played in bars, Spent my money buying new guitars, I screamed my heart out, But how I loved it, That's rock 'n' roll. Well come on everybody get down get with it, Come on everybody get down get with it, Come on everybody get down that's rock 'n' roll. It's when the smoking and the heat Have got your heart pounding right with the beat Don't try to fight it Just get excited That's rock 'n' roll. But it's the roadies and the crowd It's when the band's playing way too loud Your hips are shakin' Ain't no mistakin' That's rock 'n' roll. Well come on everybody get down get with it Come on everybody get down get with it Come on everybody get down that's rock 'n' roll. Well come on everybody get down get with it Come on everybody get down get with it Come on everybody get down that's rock 'n' roll. Now don't you worry, 'bout being a star It doesn't matter who or what you are Just get the rhythm And let it fill ya That's rock 'n' roll. And if you feel it clap your hands Let's see some sweat for the boys in the band And let me hear ya Let me hear ya That's rock 'n' roll. Well come on everybody get down get with it Come on everybody get down get with it Come on everybody get down that's rock 'n' roll.
