One, two, three o'clock
Four o'clock rock
Five, six, seven o'clock
Eight o'clock rock
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock
Twelve o'clock rock
We're gonna rock
Around the clock tonight

Put your glad rags on
Join me, hon
We'll have some fun
When the clock strikes one

[CHORUS]
We're gonna rock
Around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock, rock, rock
'Til broad daylight
Gonna rock, gonna rock
Around the clock tonight

When the clock strikes
Two, three and four
If the band slows down
We'll yell for more

[repeat CHORUS]

When the chimes ring
Five, six, and seven
We'll be right in seventh heaven

[repeat CHORUS]

When it's eight, nine
Ten, eleven too
I'll be going strong
And so will you

[repeat CHORUS]

When the clock strikes twelve
We'll cool off then
Start rocking round the clock again

[repeat CHORUS]
