Tonight (1969)

Alright, kids
Let's get together and have a ball

Sitting in the classroom, feel your heart going boom
You start to get the feeling and your head begins to reeling
You can't hear what the teachers say
Because the news is goin' down about the rock roll dance in town
And you know, I just gotta hear that band play

Tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight)
Oh, tonight

On Tuesday got the letter, the army thinks I better
Get myself down there right away
It's not that I'm lazy, I'm just too crazy
To go doing things that way
Because the kids will be in town and the jams are going down
I wanna do things the natural way

Tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight)
Oh, tonight

Every day you can hear 'em say
You gotta get down in the U.S.A. tonight
Okay kids, it's rockin' time

Every day you can hear 'em say
You gotta get down in the U.S.A. tonight

Sun starts going down, I call my girl up on the phone
I said, "I'll pick you up at eight, at last we'll be alone"
I hop in my machine, you know I gotta make the scene
Dancing through the crowd, see the people going wild

When the band's really rockin' then there's no stopping
My girl begins to twirl, the room begins to whirl
It's out of this world, out of this world

Tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight)
Oh, tonight

Hey now, everybody, I got to get moving
I gotta muscle me up some action
Well, I'll see you all later
Well, bye-bye
