Rock This Town Lyrics
The Brian Setzer Orchestra
Lyrics
Well, my baby and me went out late Saturday night
I had my hair piled high, my baby just looked so right
Well, pick you up at ten, gonna get you home at two
Your mama don't know what I got in store for you
But baby that's all right, we're looking as cool as can be
We found a little place that really didn't look half bad
I had a whiskey on the rocks and change of a dollar for the jukebox
Well, I put a quarter right into that can
But all it played was disco, man
Come on pretty baby, let's get out of here right away
We're gonna rock this town
Rock it inside out
We're gonna rock this town
Make 'em scream and shout
Let's rock, rock, rock, man, rock
Rock 'til we pop, we gonna roll 'til we drop
We gonna rock this town
Rock it inside out
Go
Well, we're having a ball just tearing up the big dance floor
Well, there's a real square cat, he looks 1974
Well, you looked at me once, you looked at me twice
Look at me again and there's gonna be a fight
We're gonna rock this town
Rip this place apart
We're gonna rock this town
Rock it inside out
We're gonna rock this town
Make 'em scream and shout
Well let's rock, rock, rock, rock
Rock 'til we pop
We gonna roll 'til we drop
Rock this town
Rip this place apart
One more time
We're gonna rock this town
Rock it inside out
We're gonna rock this town
Make 'em scream and shout
Well let's rock, rock, rock, rock
Rock 'til we pop, we gonna roll 'til we drop
We gonna rock this town
Rock it inside out
We're gonna rock this town
Rock it inside out
We're gonna rock this town
Rock it inside
Yeah, we're gonna rock this town
Tear it up, we're gonna rip it down
Rock this town, rock it inside out
