MC5 › Lyrics › Tonight

Sittin' in the classroom
Feel your heart goin' boom
You start to get the feelin'
And your head begins to reelin'

And you can't hear what the teachers say
Because the news is going down
About the rock and roll dance in town
And you know I just gotta hear that band play

Tonight, tonight, tonight
Oh tonight

Well, Tuesday got the letter
The Army thinks I better
Get myself down there right away
It's not that I'm lazy, I'm just too crazy

To goin' doin' things that way
Because the kids will be in town
And the jams will be going down
I wanna do things the natural way

Tonight, tonight, tonight
Oh tonight

Every day you can hear 'em say
You gotta get down in the USA tonight

Ok, kids, it's rockin' time!
Every day you can hear 'em say
You gotta get down in the USA tonight

Sun starts goin' down, I call my girl up on the phone
I said I'll pick you up at eight, at last we'll be alone
I hop in my machine, you know I gotta make the scene
Dancin' through the crowd, say the people goin' wild
When the bands really rockin'. there's just no stoppin'
My girl begins to twirl, the room begins to whirl
It's outta this world, it's outta this world

Tonight, tonight, tonight
Oh tonight

Hey now everybody I gotta get movin'
I gotta muscle me up some action
Well I'll see you all later, well bye
