They say the joint was rockin'
A goin' 'round and round
Yeah reelin' and a rockin' what a crazy sound
Well they never stopped rockin' till the moon went down

Oh it sounds so sweet I gotta take me a chance
Rose out of my seat just had to dance
Started movin' my feet well a clappin' my hands
Well the joint started

Rockin' going 'round and around
Yeah reelin' and a rockin' what a crazy sound
A well they never stopped rockin' till the moon went down

Front doors was locked
Well the place was packed
When the police knocked
Both doors flew back
But they kept on a

Oh they kept on a
Rockin' going 'round and around
Yeah reelin' and a rockin' what a crazy sound
A well they never stopped rockin' till the moon went down
