Lyrics

When I drove into that parking lot

For the first time peepers round was on the dot

By the stink of that cop, ain′t got a lot

Well we were lookin' for a place to play

We high-tailed over to one-eyed Jack

With a cheap guitar strung over my back

Well I looked pretty nervous, I can′t turn back

This guy was everything the driver said, yeah

Well we were all right

We're gonna rock and roll tonight

Hey knock, don't lean on the record machine

Or mess around with the big red light

Well, it was all right

We gotta rock and roll tonight

And Bun E′s on the ground

Goin′ round and round

'Cause his baby′s cut her jeans too tight

Well lazy Jack, doesn't move too well

Play it back real loud, a real rebel yell

Buy a rock and roll record and make it sell

I′m gonna make it to the top today

Now I got pulled in some big demand

And they all keep telling me be a one-man band

Unless I get big stuff and a real cool band

And boy you gotta hear me play, yeah

Well, we were all right

We're gonna rock and roll tonight

Hey knock, don′t lean on the record machine

Or mess around with the big red light

Well, it was all right

We gotta rock and roll tonight

And Bun E's on the ground

Goin' round and round

′Cause his baby′s cut her jeans too tight

Well they heard some sounds in the songs we wrote

Welcome back by paying you note for note

Been a long time playin' that rock and roll

Not a thing′s gonna touch me now

Gonna rock your town if anybody could

Drive a big limousine down to Hollywood

Even bought a nice home in your neighborhood

But we have to keep the curtains drawn, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, we were all right

We're gonna rock and roll tonight

Hey knock, don′t lean on the record machine

Or mess around with the big red light

Well, it was all right

We gotta rock and roll tonight

And Bun E's on the ground

Goin′ round and round

'Cause his baby's got her jeans too tight

We were all right

We′re gonna rock and roll tonight, rock and roll tonight

And Bun E′s on the ground

Goin' round and round

′Cause his baby's cut her jeans too tight
