I looked at my watch,
It was a quarter to eight
She made a little move
That made me stand up straight
We were rollin' reelin' and a- rockin'.
We were reelin' and a- rockin' and rollin' till the break of dawn
We boogied in the kitchen
We boogied in the hall
I got some on my fingers
And I wiped it on the wall...

Posted it once or twice; maybe Sioux can find it with his search capabilities.
Some-times I will, then again I think I won't.
Some-times I will, then again I think I won't.
Some- times I do, then again I think I don't.
Well, I looked at my watch it was nine twenty one
'twas at a rock 'n' roll dance havin' nothin' but fun.
We were rollin' reelin' and a- rockin'.
We were reelin' and a- rockin' and rollin' till the break of dawn
Well, I looked at my watch, it was nine thirty-two,
There's nothin' I'd rather do than dance with you.
We were rollin', reelin' and a-rockin'...
Well, I looked at my watch, it was nine forty-three,
And every time I'd spin, she'd spin with me.
We were reelin', reelin' and a-rockin', ...)

I said, "Dance ballerina girl, go, go, go! "
We were rollin, reelin' and a-rockin' ...

Man, I didn't know whether I was dead or alive!
But I was rollin', reelin' and a-rockin'....

But I'm a keep on dancin' till I got my kicks!
We were reelin', reelin' and a- rockin'.....

We were reelin', reelin' and a-rockin'. ....
Well, I looked at my watch, and to my surprise,
I was dancin' with a woman who was twice my size!
We were reelin', reelin' and a-rockin'. .....
Well, I looked at my watch, and it was time to go,
The band leader said, "We ain't playin' no mo' ! "
We were reelin', reelin', and a-rockin'....
