Up in the morning and out to school

The teacher is teaching the golden rule

American history and practical math

You study 'em hard and hoping to pass

Working your fingers right down to the bone

And the guy behind you won't leave you alone

Ring-ring goes the bell

The cook in the lunchroom's ready to sell

You're lucky if you can find a seat

You're fortunate if you have time to eat

Back in the classroom, open your books

Gee, but the teacher don't know how mean she looks

Soon as three o'clock rolls around

You finally lay your burden down

Close up your books, get out of your seat

Down the halls and into the street

Up to the corner and 'round the bend

Right to the juke joint you go in

Hail, hail rock and roll

Deliver me from the days of old

Long live rock and roll

The beat of the drum is loud and bold

Rock, rock, rock and roll

The feeling is there, body and soul
