Tonight Lyrics - Marshall Crenshaw

(r. tyner, w. kramer, f. smith) 

Motor city music, cotillion music (bmi) 

Sittin' in the classroom feel your heart thumpin' 

Start to get the feelin' 

Your head begins to reel n' 

You can't hear what the teacher say 

Because the news is going down 

'bout the rock and roll band in town 

And you know you just gotta hear that band play 

Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight) 

Oh tonight 

On tuesday comes a letter 

Well the army thinks I better 

Get myself down there right away 

Well it's not that I'm lazy 

But I'm just too crazy 

To go do things that way 

'cause the kids will be in town and the jams are goin' down 

Gotta do things the natural way 

Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight) 

Oh tonight 

Everyday, gonna hear them say 

Gonna get down in the usa tonight 

Ok kids...it's rockin' time!! 

Everyday, gonna hear them say 

Gonna get down in the usa tonight 

The sun starts goin' down 

Call my girl up on the phone 

Said I'll pick you up at 8 

At last we'll be alone 

I hop in my machine 

You know I've gotta make the scene 

But I'm dancin' to the ground 

There's people going wild 

When the band's really rockin' and there's no stoppin' 

The room begins to whirl 

The room begins to twirl 

It's outta this world 

It's outta this world 

Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight) 

Oh tonight 

And then the man on the record says 'hey now everybody 

I gotta get movin', I gotta go downtown and hustle me up 

Some ack-shun' oh well I'll see you all later... 

Well bye bye 

Bye
