After School Session
Up in the mornin' and out to school
The teacher is teachin' the Golden Rule
American history and practical math
You study' em hard and hopin' to pass
Workin' your fingers right down to the bone
And the guy behind you won't leave you alone 


Ring ring goes the bell
The cook in the lunchroom's ready to sell
You're lucky if you can find a seat
You're fortunate if you have time to eat
Back in the classroom open you books
Gee but the teacher don't know
How mean she looks 


Soon as three o'clock rolls around
You finally lay your burden down
Close up your books, get out of your seat 
Down the halls and into the street
To the corner and 'round the bend
Right to the juke joint you go in 


Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hear something that's really hot 
With the one you love you're makin' romance
All day long you been
Wantin' to dance
Feelin' God from head to toe
Everybody repeat after me 


Hail, hail rock'n'roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Long live rock'n'roll
The beat of the drum is loud and bold
Rock rock rock'n'roll
The feelin' is there body and soul
