GOOD ROCKIN' TONIGHT

Original Roy Brown version

Well I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
Oh I'm gonna hold my baby as tight as I can
Tonight she'll know I'm a mighty, mighty man
I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight

Oh yes I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
Oh I'm gonna hold my baby as tight as I can
Tonight she'll know I'm a mighty, mighty man
I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight

Oh meet me in a hurry behind the barn
Don't be afraid I'll do you no harm
I want you to bring my rocking shoes
'Cause tonight I'm gonna rock away all my blues
I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight

Oh yes I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
Oh I'll hold my baby as tight as I can
Tonight she'll know I'm a mighty, mighty man
I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight

Well Deacon Jones and Melville Brown
Two of the slickest cats in town
They'll be there, just a wait and see
Stomping and jumping at the jamboree
Ah hey man, there's a good rockin' tonight

Well sweet Lorraine, Sioux City Sue
Sweet Georgia Brown, Caldonia too
They'll all be there shouting like mad
Hoy sister, hoy sister, ain't you glad
We heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight

Oh yes, we'll rock tonight
Hey hey, we'll rock tonight
Hoy hoy, we'll rock tonight
Hey hey, we'll rock tonight
I heard the news, there's a good rockin' tonight
