Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock, rock
Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock, rock
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, rock
Gonna rock, what? Rock around the clock
[Verse 2]
Three years ago in St. Albans, Queens
I was rockin' at a park called 118
Little kids stood and watched, as I rocked the spot
Didn't know years later, I'd be standin' on top
[Verse 3]
Livin' Farmers Boulevard, I was born in Bayshore
Stopped the rich, and shake hands with the poor
And this is a story about a brother I know
Cut Creator on the fader, now, watch him go
I wanna cut
[Verse 4]
Go, go Cut Creator go
Go Cut Creator go
Go Cut Creator go
Go, go Cut Creator go
Go Cut Creator go
Go Cut Creator go
[Verse 5]
Way back in the days, before I clocked some dough
I used to go to the show and sit in the front row
Hopin' and prayin' one day I get on a roll
So I'd have FILA in the summer, and a mink when it's cold
[Verse 6]
Not fearin' a thought, got stung like a horse
Don't make fun of my posse, 'cause each man is a boss
When his homie can't wait to pull a jam out the crate
One time for your mine, check out the guitar break
[Verse 7]
I wanna cut
Go, go Cut Creator go
Go Cut Creator go
Go, go Cut Creator go
Go, go Cut Creator go
Go Cut Creator go
Go Cut Creator go
[Verse 8]
This jam just wasn't enough for Jimi Hendrix to see
He could do lessons of mixin', take you under his wings
Straight from the heart, 'cause it ain't money that we came here for
Ain't enforcin' no rules, ain't breakin' no laws
[Verse 9]
We in a rock 'n' roll band and pin stripes and plaid
Just my posse learn to work with what little we had
It's all about us three, E, Phil, and J
He heard Cut Creator cut, now check out, we can play
[Verse 10]
I wanna cut
[Verse 11]
Go Cut Creator go
Go Cut Creator go
Go Cut Creator go
Go, go Cut Creator go
Go Cut Creator go
Go Cut Creator go
[Verse 12]
Go, rock, rock, y'all
Check out the funky cut
[Verse 13]
It's like travelin' through time to the Stray Cats strut
Cuts are slicker than grease, needle sharper than knife
We'll be do-doin' the do for the rest of the lines
You wanna piece of the action, it's time to party, get up
[Verse 14]
Not a subway bummy singer, puttin' change in a cup
Wanna see you boogie, oogie, jumpin' up and down
Bite your lip and hold your breath until we come to your town
[Verse 15]
LL Cool J is hard as
[Verse 16]
Cut Creator, cut the record for me
Go, go Cut Creator go
Go Cut Creator go (Cut it, cut it)
Go Cut Creator go
Cut Creator cut it
Cut Creator cut it
[Verse 17]
Go, go Cut Creator go
Cut it, cut it, cut, cut, cut it
Go Cut Creator go
Go Cut Creator go
Come get it, cut, cut, cut, real
Please, cut the record for for me
LL Cool J is hard as
Hey
Go
Cut, cut, cut, cut it
Go, cut, cut it
Cut, cut, cut it
[Verse 18]
Go
Cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it
Ah, now!
Go, cut, cut it
[Verse 19]
Go Cut Creator go
Cut, cut it
Cut, cut it
Cut, cut, cut it
[Verse 20]
Go Cut Creator go
Go Cut Creator go
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Hard as hell
