One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock rock.
Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock rock.
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock rock.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.
Put your glad rags on and join me, hon'!
We'll have some fun, when the clock strikes one.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.
We're gonna rock, rock, rock till broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock
Around the clock tonight.
When the clock strikes two, three and four,
If the band slows down, we'll yell for more.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.
We're gonna rock, rock, rock till broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock
Around the clock tonight.
Instrumental break featuring guitar solo
When the chimes ring five, six and seven,
We'll be right in seventh heaven.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.
We're gonna rock, rock, rock till broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock
Around the clock tonight.
When it's eight, nine, ten, eleven, too,
I'll be goin' strong and so will you.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.
We're gonna rock, rock, rock till broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock
Around the clock tonight.
Instrumental break
When the clock strikes twelve, we'll cool off then,
Start rockin' 'round the clock again.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.
We're gonna rock, rock, rock till broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock
Around the clock tonight.
