Pa and Uncle Tom slave away all day
Workin' on the line, but now it's time to play
Traffic jam on 7, gotta find another way
To meet up with the women to dance the night away
    Let's rock
    Oh, let's rock
    Some people punch the clock
    They still like to rock

August never is the coldest month of the year
But ever since March all April's cried are tears
That man of hers done quit her and left her here
She's goin' to the dance tonight to get herself in gear
    Let's rock
    Oh, let's rock
    Some people love to squawk
    They oughtta rock

The girl down the street's got a stud in her nose
Bob has a ring on each of his toes
Their friend George has purple hair that glows
And where he's pierced only heaven knows
    Let's rock
    Oh, let's rock
    Some people like to shock
    They need to rock

Clothes hangin' heavy out on the line
Old folks sittin' on the stoop just passin' time
Sally has a feelin' the band's startin' at nine
Let's get a move on if we don't wanna stand in no line
    Let's rock
    Oh, let's rock
    Some people like to talk
    But we like to rock

I'm gettin' kinda hungry, didn't eat since six
Magician on the stage, all he knows are tricks
Sal the guitarist says he's learned a new lick
Better get the band started, better get it started quick
    Let's rock
    Oh, let's rock
    Birds like to flock
    But we wanna rock

Two boys on the corner tryin' to pick a fight
One says to the other, "Gonna knock out yer lights"
The other one says, "Get outta my sight"
And then the music kicks in and they're feelin' all right
    Let's rock
    Oh, let's rock
    Some people like to duke it out
    But we like to rock

Well, I know a lot of ways for a man to have fun
Playin' his music or layin' in the sun
Dancin' in the fields where the cattle used to run
When a nickel was a dollar and a dollar got it done
    Let's rock
    Oh, let's rock
    Some people bop in their socks
    We like to rock
    Some people watch the Box
    We like to rock
    Waterbrothers like to grok
    We grok the rock
