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

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

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

<instrumental interlude>

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, 'til broad daylight

Gonna rock, 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, 'til broad daylight

Gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight

<instrumental interlude>

When the clock strikes twelve, we'll cool off then

Start a'rockin' round the clock again

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
