Sittin' in the classroom   Feel your heart goin' boom   You start to get the feelin'   And your head begins to reelin'      And you can't hear what the teachers say   Because the news is going down   About the rock and roll dance in town   And you know I just gotta hear that band play      Tonight, tonight, tonight   Oh tonight      Well, Tuesday got the letter   The Army thinks I better   Get myself down there right away   It's not that I'm lazy, I'm just too crazy      To goin' doin' things that way   Because the kids will be in town   And the jams will be going down   I wanna do things the natural way      Tonight, tonight, tonight   Oh tonight      Every day you can hear 'em say   You gotta get down in the USA tonight      Ok, kids, it's rockin' time!   Every day you can hear 'em say   You gotta get down in the USA tonight      Sun starts goin' down, I call my girl up on the phone   I said I'll pick you up at eight, at last we'll be alone   I hop in my machine, you know I gotta make the scene   Dancin' through the crowd, say the people goin' wild   When the bands really rockin'. there's just no stoppin'   My girl begins to twirl, the room begins to whirl   It's outta this world, it's outta this world      Tonight, tonight, tonight   Oh tonight      Hey now everybody I gotta get movin'   I gotta muscle me up some action   Well I'll see you all later, well bye
