Rock Around The Clock (1960) Lyrics

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, 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, 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, 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, gonna rock around the clock tonight

When the clock strikes twelve we'll cool off then
Start rockin' around the clock again

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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
