GOOD ROCKIN' TONIGHT^©

Live 19 Dec 1978 version

Portland!
One, two, three, four

Have you heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
Well have you heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
Oh meet me my baby in behind the barn
Well I swear, I'm gonna do you no harm
Have you heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight

Well meet me in the dark alley behind the barn
Well I swear, I'm wanna do you no harm
Tonight I'm gonna put on my rockin' shoes
Tonight I'm gonna run away all the old blues
You heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight

We're gonna rock
We're gonna rock
We're gonna rock
We're gonna rock
We're gonna rock all our cares away

Guitar man!
Piano man!

Have you heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
Well have you heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
I wanna go now, go and start this again
Tonight I'm gonna be a mighty mighty mighty man
Have you heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight

Oh Steve!
Have you heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
Have you heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
Have you heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
Just once more!
Have you heard the news, everybody's rockin' tonight
Have you heard the news, everybody's rockin' tonight
Have you heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
