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
