C
They said the joint was rockin'
Goin' 'round and 'round
     F                    C
Oh, baby with that crazy sound.
                      G7
And it never stopped rockin'
                   C
Til the moon went down

You know it sounds so sweet
I gotta take me a chance
Rose out of my seat
You know I had to dance
Started movin' my feet
Oh, clappin' my hands

Chorus:
                C
And we kept on rockin'
Goin' 'round and 'round
    F
Oh baby
                 C
With that crazy sound
                      G7
And it never stopped rockin'
                   C
Til the moon went down - x2

Twelve o'clock
And the place was packed
Twelve o'clock
I said the joint was packed.
When the po-lice knocked,
And the doors flew back.

Chorus - x3
