Lyrics
Blue light, big crowd
Jukebox plays loud
No fear, no care
Everybody’s rockin’ everywhere
Rock house, rock house, rock house
We’re goin’ to the rock house
Well rock it in the mornin’
Rock it in daylight
Rockin’ through the evening
And I won’t be home at night
Rock house, we’re goin’ to the rock house
Rock-a-rock houseHeartache, you lose
No trouble, no booze
Come one, come all
Well rock it up and have a ball
Rock house, rock house, rock house
We’re goin’ to the rock house
