Well, I looked at my watch, it was 9:21,

we was at a rock'n'roll dance having nothing but fun.
                            
And we rolled, reelin' and a rockin'.

Rollin' till the break of dawn.

And we was reelin', reelin' and a rockin'.
       
We was reelin' and a rockin',
                       
well, till the break of dawn.
