Rock 'n' Roll Tonight Lyrics - Cheap Trick

When I drove into that parking lot 

For the first time peepers round was on the dot 

By the stink of that cop, ain't got a lot 

Well we were lookin' for a place to play 

We high-tailed over to one-eyed Jack 

With a cheap guitar strung over my back 

Well I looked pretty nervous, I can't turn back 

This guy was everything the driver said, yeah 

Well we were all right 

We're gonna rock and roll tonight 

Hey knock, don't lean on the record machine 

Or mess around with the big red light

Well, it was all right 

We gotta rock and roll tonight 

And Bun E's on the ground 

Goin' round and round 

'Cause his baby's cut her jeans too tight 

Well lazy Jack, doesn't move too well 

Play it back real loud, a real rebel yell 

Buy a rock and roll record and make it sell 

I'm gonna make it to the top today 

Now I got pulled in some big demand 

And they all keep telling me be a one-man band 

Unless I get big stuff and a real cool band 

And boy you gotta hear me play, yeah 

Well, we were all right 

We're gonna rock and roll tonight 

Hey knock, don't lean on the record machine 

Or mess around with the big red light

Well, it was all right 

We gotta rock and roll tonight 

And Bun E's on the ground 

Goin' round and round 

'Cause his baby's cut her jeans too tight 

Well they heard some sounds in the songs we wrote 

Welcome back by paying you note for note 

Been a long time playin' that rock and roll 

Not a thing's gonna touch me now 

Gonna rock your town if anybody could 

Drive a big limousine down to Hollywood 

Even bought a nice home in your neighborhood 

But we have to keep the curtains drawn, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Well, we were all right 

We're gonna rock and roll tonight 

Hey knock, don't lean on the record machine 

Or mess around with the big red light 

Well, it was all right 

We gotta rock and roll tonight 

And Bun E's on the ground 

Goin' round and round 

'Cause his baby's got her jeans too tight 

We were all right 

We're gonna rock and roll tonight, rock and roll tonight 

And Bun E's on the ground 

Goin' round and round 

'Cause his baby's cut her jeans too tight
