Rock Around The Clock - Bill Haley And His Comets

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 and join me hon’,
We’ll have some fun when the clock strikes one

We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, ’till broad daylight,
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight

When the clock strikes two, three and four,
If the band slows down we’ll yell for more

We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, ’till broad daylight,
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight

When the chimes ring five, six, and seven,
We’ll be right in seventh heaven

We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, ’till broad daylight,
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight

When it’s eight, nine, ten, eleven too,
I’ll be goin’ strong and so will you

We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, ’till broad daylight,
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight

When the clock stikes twelve we’ll cool off then,
Start rockin’ ’round the clock again

We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock, ’till broad daylight,
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight.

I think this song can be played even in a teenager party, and it still is appropriate. :-)
