I was at a party 
And this feller said to me 
Something bad is happening 
I'm sure you do agree 
People care for nothing 
No respect for human rights 
Evil times are coming 
We are in for darker nights? 
I said who are you 
To talk about impending doom? 
He got kinda wary 
As he looked around the room 
He said, I'm a minister 
A big shot in the state? 
I said I just can't 
Believe it, boy 
I think it's great 
Brother can you tell me 
What is right and what is wrong? 
He said, keep on rocking baby 
'Til the night is gone? 

On and on and on 
Keep on rocking baby 
'Til the night is gone 

Over in the corner 
I could see this other guy 
He was kinda flirty 
He was giving me the eye 
So I took advantage 
Of the fact that I'm a star 
Shook my hair and took 
A casual stroll up to the bar 
And as sure as hell 
This guy was coming up to me 
He said, who am I and 
Who are you and who are we 
What's our situation do 
We have some time for us? 
I said, I was not exactly 
Waiting for the bus 
He said, if you're going 
Somewhere can I come along? 
I said, keep on rocking baby 
'Til the night is gone? 

On and on and on 
Keep on rocking baby 
'Til the night is gone
