Well now, the little red rooster told the little red hen
I ain't been to see you since God knows when
Little red hen told the big red rooster
You don't come 'round to see me, baby, like you used to
Rock tonight baby
Yeah, we gonna rock tonight baby
We gonna rock tonight baby
Yeah, we gonna rock tonight
Well now the big black cat told the little grey mouse
I'm gonna chase you all around this house
Little grey mouse told the big black cat
Come on, daddy, don't you do me like that
We gonna rock tonight baby
Yeah, we gonna rock tonight, baby
Oh, we gonna rock tonight, baby
Girl, we gonna rock tonight
Little green frog told the big black snake
Come on, daddy, let's sssswim in the lake
Big black snake told the little green frog
I'm gonna lay right here on this log
Rock tonight, baby
Yeah, we gonna rock tonight, baby
Yeah, we gonna rock tonight, baby
Oh, honey, we gonna rock tonight
Well, now the green alligator said to the crocodile
Stick around, baby, I want to kiss you after while
The crocodile said to the green alligator
Kiss me now, baby, I'll hang around later
Rock tonight, baby
We gonna rock tonight, baby
We gonna rock tonight, baby
Yeah, we gonna rock tonight
Rock tonight, baby
We gonna rock tonight, baby
Yeah, rock tonight, baby
Oh, we gonna rock tonight, baby
We gonna rock tonight, baby, yeah
We gonna rock tonight
