Bill Haley - Rock Around The Clock

Released in May 13, 1954 (1954-05-13), NYC and again in May 1955.

--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, 'til 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, 'til 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, 'til 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, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.

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.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.

I always think of a brutal bar fight when I hear this song. For some reason it just makes you want to go and break some noses with a chair leg.

[robert marin]

Live rock and roll forever!

[Arguslabs]

This song is going to survive us all !

[FIREPHOENIX JESSE]

I wish we still had music like this :) I'm 13 but still (not really a big rock and roll fan but you know..)

[Slim Slendy]

And they say 1D and JB are good... They suck compared to old music :). I'm 13 and I'm proud :D. I love Rock N Roll!

[Andrew Blackton]

Suggestion on where to start?

[chd wwk]

Don't be so rude, it breaks my sensitive heart :'(

[SLOWHAND234]

For some reason your comment makes me want to break the keyboard on your computer with a chair leg.

[Stephanie Anderson]

Love this song and it's influence on Rockabilly!

[Vali Mórocz]

[Robert Wilkinson]

These guys knew how to o play, they weren't just strummers. Just listen to that guitar break , that guy really can bend his fingers around those strings!
