Songtexte Rollin' by the Record Machine - The Rockets

Hey, hey! Oh! Uh-huh!
Come on, come on!

Well, I was standin' with my friends, just talkin' after school
Checkin' out the sign readin' all about the news
Well, grab yourself a partner, you better make it fast
'Cause this Friday night there's gonna be a sock hop dance
The word is out, they hear it all over town
People will be comin' now from miles around
The gym is fillin' up to a capacity crowd
We'll be shakin' 'em down, just turn the music up loud

We were rollin', rollin' by the record machine
We were rollin', rollin' by the record machine
Everybody's gettin' crazy, ah, who wants to stop?
Just give me another nickel, gotta put it in the box
Hey, hey!

Well, a little Tommy T. just walked in from the street
He was actin' real bad, he was actin' real mean
Grabbed himself a girl, pulled her right out of her seat
When they finally hit the floor, she began to move her feet
Hey there, angel, is this building stable?
Everybody jumped up, started dancin' on the tables
The teachers decided it was time to call the law
When they got to the floor, somebody ripped it off the wall

We were rollin', rollin' by the record machine
We were rollin', rollin' by the record machine
Well, everybody's gettin' crazy, I think they called the cops
Just give me another nickel, gotta put it in the box
Hey! No! Uh-huh!

Well, here come the judge with the police
He's gonna put an end to this crazy little scene
Everybody's rockin', but they don't wanna stop
They're tryin' to talk to the judge about turnin' back the clock
Dancin' in the halls, dancin' on the stairs
There was even a couple on the chandelier
The teachers grabbed the judge and said, "Kick off your shoes!"
This is your last chance now to get in the groove

We were rollin', rollin' by the record machine

We were rollin', rollin' by the record machine

Well, everybody's getting crazy, I think we're getting hot
Gimme another nickel, gotta put it in the box
We were rollin' (Hey!), rollin' by the
Record machine (Come on and roll me)
We were rollin', rollin' by the record machine (Come on!)
Well, everybody's getting crazy, I think we're getting hot
Gimme another nickel, gotta put it in the box

We were rollin' (Rollin'), rollin'
By the record machine (Yeah, now, now)
We were rollin' (Rollin'), rollin' by the
Record machine (Come on and get it now, now)
Well, everybody's getting crazy, I think we're getting hot
Just give me another nickel, gotta put it in the box

We were rollin' (Rollin'), rollin' by the record
Machine (We're rollin', we're rollin', we're rollin')
We were rollin', rollin' by the record
Machine (We're rollin', rock and rollin')

And we're rollin' (Rollin'), rollin' by the record
Machine (We're rollin', we got it now, baby)
We're rollin' (Rollin'), rollin' by the record
Machine (Well, come on, come on, come on!)
