When the chimes ring 5, 6 and 7
We'll be right in 7th 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 8, 9, 10, 11 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

(Instrumental with saxophone, guitar plays same chord voicings)

When the clock strikes 12, we'll cool off then
Start rockin' round 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
