  • We're gonna tear down the mailbox, rip up the floor
    Smash out the windows and knock down the door

    We're gonna rock, rock this joint
    We're gonna rock, rock this joint
    We're gonna rock, rock this joint
    We're gonna rock this joint tonight
    Well, six times six is thirty six
    I ain't gonna hit for six more licks

    We're gonna rock
    Rock this joint
    We're gonna rock
    Rock this joint
    We're gonna rock
    Rock this joint
    We're gonna rock this joint tonight

    Do the sugar foor rag, side by side
    Flying low and flying wide

    We're gonna rock
    Rock this joint
    We're gonna rock
    Rock this joint
    We're gonna rock
    Rock this joint
    We're gonna rock this joint tonight

    Do an ol' Paul Jones and a Virginia Reel
    Just let your feet know how you feel

    We're gonna rock
    Rock this joint
    We're gonna rock
    Rock this joint
    We're gonna rock
    Rock this joint
    We're gonna rock this joint tonight

    Well six times six is thirty six
    I ain't gonna hit but six more licks

    We're gonna rock
    Rock this joint
    We're gonna rock
    Rock this joint
    We're gonna rock
    Rock this joint
    We're gonna rock this joint tonight Writer/s: Doc Bagby, Don Keene, Harry Crafton

  • Bob from Los Angeles, MsHow can people say That's All Right (Mama) is the first Rock And Roll record when this song was released in '52? If you are going to give that honor to a white guy, it has to go to Bill Haley.
  • Robert from Houston, TxReverend Horton Heat covered this on their album "It's Martini Time."
