  • When I hear that rock and roll
    It gets down to my soul
    When it's real rock and roll

    When I hear that rock and roll
    It gets down to my soul
    When it's real rock and roll
    Oh rock and roll

    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    You really think they like to rock in space
    Well I don't know

    What do you know
    What do you hear
    On the radio
    Coming through the air
    I said Momma
    I ain't crazy
    I'm all right, all right
    Hey c'mon baby said it's all right
    To rock'n'roll on a Saturday night
    I said "Shoot and get your suit and come along with me"
    I said "C'mon baby down come and rock with me"
    I said "Yeah"

    What do you do
    To get to feel alive
    You go downtown
    And get some of that prime jive
    I said Momma
    I ain't crazy
    I'm all right, all right
    Hey c'mon baby said it's all right
    To rock'n'roll on a Saturday night
    I said "Shoot and get your suit and come along with me"
    I said "C'mon baby down come and rock with me"
    I said "Yeah"

    We're gonna rock it

    Hey c'mon baby said it's all right
    To rock'n'roll on a Saturday night
    I said "Shoot and get your suit and come along with me"
    I said "C'mon baby down come and rock with me"
    I said "Yeah"

    We're gonna rock it... tonight

    (We want some prime jive)
    (We want some prime jive)...
    We're gonna rock it tonight
    (We want some prime jive)...
    C'mon honey
    (We want some prime jive)
    We're rocking tonight
    C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
    We're rocking tonight
    C'mon honey we're rocking tonight

    Get get get get get
    Get some of that prime jive
    Get some of that prime jive
    C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon honey
    Get some of that prime jive
    Get some of that get get down (Down)
    C'mon honey, c'mon honey, we're gonna rock it tonight Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

  • Adam from Boyce, VaThis song is a fun song and really captures the time period well for what the sound was like then. However the greatest thing about this song is Freddie's intro. I like Roger but I considered him a rather weak vocalist. Of course anyone compared to Freddie is going to suffer from comparison but to this day I usually just listen to the intro and go onto the next track.
  • Anna from Ann Arbor, MiYou two are both right, Roger is adorable!
    But yeah, I love this song,
    it's so fun!
  • Catherine from Wooster, OhHa, you're right, Roger is adorable! That's my favorite part of that song!
  • Freddie from Orlando, FlI love roggies little "ahh"s and "Oooh"s when the rock kicks in after Freds intro. Theyre so cute and goochie goo-able.
    I wuv you Roger. xooxoxoxxoxoxo
    (im not really Freddie, Im a chick.)
