Motor city music, cotillion music (bmi)
Sittin in the classroom feel your heart thumpin
Start to get the feelin
Your head begins to reel n
You cant hear what the teacher say
Because the news is going down
bout the rock and roll band in town
And you know you just gotta hear that band play
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
Oh tonight
On tuesday comes a letter
Well the army thinks I better
Get myself down there right away
Well its not that Im lazy
But Im just too crazy
To go do things that way
cause the kids will be in town and the jams are goin down
Gotta do things the natural way
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
Oh tonight
Everyday, gonna hear them say
Gonna get down in the usa tonight
Ok kids...its rockin time!!
Everyday, gonna hear them say
Gonna get down in the usa tonight
The sun starts goin down
Call my girl up on the phone
Said Ill pick you up at 8
At last well be alone
I hop in my machine
You know Ive gotta make the scene
But Im dancin to the ground
Theres people going wild
When the bands really rockin and theres no stoppin
The room begins to whirl
The room begins to twirl
Its outta this world
Its outta this world
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
Oh tonight
And then the man on the record says hey now everybody
I gotta get movin, I gotta go downtown and hustle me up
Some ack-shun oh well Ill see you all later...
Well bye bye
Bye
