Rock Around the Clock - Bill Haley and His Comets

Dance until we just can't Keep clappin our hands to the songs and Keep dancin around to the joyful sound that the band plays As his smiling face just shines away It's moving through town as big as a train April, May, June and July we'll hang outside August through February all the time Talking our way through March Hanging out always till this starts Over and over again you promise that it won't end So I will try to find a rhyme to thank you again And how I, I am not into the idea of living without you And I, I am not into the idea of being without you And no this won't be a sad song There's going to be claps and singing along Cause sad songs about now, well that would just feel wrong Beautiful colors that came from you So this ones goes out to the reds and yellows and blues And of course I cant forget all the beautiful colors on the day that we first met So I will never know the right way to say thanks For all those nights and days you spent hanging out But that's what this is about How I, I am not into the idea of living without you And I, I am not into the idea of being without you And no, this won't be a sad song There's going to be claps and singing along Cause you're there when to talk and you're there not to stop and you're with me Around the clock. You are! You are! Around the clock - Yes you are around the clock... And just so ya'll know everyone else is not So I, I am not into the idea of living without you And I, I am not into the idea... And no, well this won't be a sad song There's gonna be claps and singing along Cause you're there when you talk and you're there not to stop And you're with me... around the clock, all around the clock.

Beat the clock. Try to make it stop Before time can draw the line And cut you down to her size Beat the clock. Try to make it stop Tell me how long will it take Before you finally realize That the carnival is over And you've seen much better days You have wasted too much time Into many different plays You deny the possibility Of growing old You are filled with false humility You're much too bold Beat the clock. Try to make it stop Before time can draw the line And cut you down to her size Beat the clock. Try to make it stop Tell me how long will it take Before you finally realize That you're in this game same as me Although you think you're not When you try to rise above it all You get just what you got It seems to me you're slipping You seem slightly unnerved When you finally see yourself You get what you deserve Beat the clock. Try to make it stop Before time can draw the line And cut you down to her size Beat the clock. Try to make it stop Tell me how long will it take Before you finally realize That the carnival is over And you've seen much better days You have wasted too much time Into many different plays You deny the possibility Of growing old You are filled with false humility You're much too bold
