Everybody's gettin' revved up
Yeah, here it comes
It's a symphony of bass, guitar and drums
When the sticks hit the cans
And the downbeat drops
You know somebody's
Gonna call the cops
Hold on tight
Or you'll never make it out alive
It's a rockabilly riot, yeah yeah!
It's a rockabilly riot, alright!
It's a rockabilly riot, yeah yeah!
Riot all night long alright, alright!
And you know you can't deny it
So you really outta try it
It's a rockabilly riot
Riot all night long
Well it's hotter than a hod rod
And it's Cadillac cool
And it sure ain't nothin'
That you're ever gonna learn in school
Yeah, the joint is jumpin'
When the slap bass pounds
Even the drummer boy can't sit down
These danger chords
Are settin' off the dynamite
It's a rockabilly riot, yeah yeah!
It's a rockabilly riot, alright!
It's a rockabilly riot, yeah yeah!
Riot all night long alright, alright!
And you know you can't deny it
So you really outta try it
It's a rockabilly riot
Riot all night long
The big guitar hits the tremelo
And everybody's shoutin'
Alright, now go man go!
All the wild guys and the crazy girls
Feel the shock heard round the world
And once you hear it
You're never gonna be the same
It's a rockabilly riot, yeah yeah!
It's a rockabilly riot, alright!
It's a rockabilly riot, yeah yeah!
Riot all night long alright, alright!
And you know you can't deny it
So you really outta try it
It's a rockabilly riot
Riot all night long
