Well, I heard the news there's good rockin' tonight
Well, I heard the news
There's good rockin' tonight
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


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


Well, we're gonna rock
We're gonna rock
Let's rock
Come on and rock
We're gonna rock all our blues away


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


Well, we're gonna rock, rock, rock, rock
Come on and rock, rock, rock, rock
Well, rock, rock, rock, rock
Well let's rock, rock, rock, rock
We're gonna rock all our blues away.
