Well, my baby and me went out late Saturday night I had my hair piled high and my baby just looked so right Well, pick you up at ten, gotta have you home at two Mama don’t know what I catched off of you But that’s all right ’cause we’re looking as cool as can be

Well, we found a little place that really didn’t look that bad I had a whisky on the rocks And change of a dollar for the jukebox Well, I put the cold rock into that can But all they played was disco, man Come on, baby, baby, let’s get out of here right away

We’re gonna rock this town Rock it inside out We’re gonna rock this town Make’em scream and shout Let’s rock, rock, rock, man, rock We’re gonna rock till you pop We’re gonna rock till you drop We’re gonna rock this town Rock it inside out

Well, we’re having a ball just ‘a bopping on the big dance floor Well, there’s a real square cat, he looks a 1974 Well, he looked at me once, he looked at me twice Look at me again and there’s gonna be fight We’re gonna rock this town We’re gonna rip this place apart

We’re gonna rock this town Rock it inside out We’re gonna rock this town Make’em scream and shout Let’s rock, rock, rock, man, rock We’re gonna rock till you pop We’re gonna rock till you drop We’re gonna rock this town Rock this place apart

We’re gonna rock this town Rock it inside out We’re gonna rock this town Make’em scream and shout Let’s rock, rock, rock, man, rock We’re gonna rock till you pop We’re gonna rock till you drop We’re gonna rock this town Rock it inside out

We’re gonna rock this town Rock it inside out We’re gonna rock this town Rock it inside out
