Lyrics
Up in the morning and off to school
The teacher is teaching the golden rule
American history and practical math
You're studying hard and hoping to pass
Working those French right down to the bone
Better check behind you won't leave me alone
Ring, ring goes the bell
They're cooking the lunches ready to sell
You're lucky if you can find a seat
You're fortunate if you get time to eat
Back in the classroom open your books
Even the teacher don't know how mean she looks
Soon as three o'clock rolls around
You finally lay your burdens down
Close your books get out of your seat
Down the halls and into the street
Off to the corner around the bend
Right to the jukeshop you go in
Drop the coin right in the slot
You gotta have something that's really hot
With the one you love you're making romance
All day long you had wanted to dance
Feel like the music from head to toe
Round and round and round you go
Hail, hail rock and roll
The beat of the drums loud and bold
Long live rock and roll
Deliver from the days of gold
Rock, rock, rock and roll
The feeling's there body and soul.
Writer(s): Chuck Berry
