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
