I was at a party

and this feller said to me

“something bad is happening

I'm sure you do agree

people care for nothing

no respect for human rights

evil times are coming

we are in for darker nights”

I said “who are you

to talk about impending doom”

he got kinda wary

as he looked around the room

he said, “I'm a minister

a big shot in the state”

I said “I just can't

believe it, boy

I think it's great

brother can you tell me

what is right and what is wrong”

he said, “keep on rocking baby

'til the night is gone”

On and on and on

keep on rocking baby

'til the night is gone

Over in the corner

I could see this other guy

he was kinda flirty

he was giving me the eye

so I took advantage

of the fact that I'm a star

shook my hair and took

a casual stroll up to the bar

and as sure as hell

this guy was coming up to me

he said, “who am I and

who are you and who are we

what's our situation do

we have some time for us”

I said, “I was not exactly

waiting for the bus”

he said, “if you're going

somewhere can I come along”

I said, “keep on rocking baby

'til the night is gone”

On and on and on

keep on rocking baby

'til the night is gone
