Lyrics

Hello everybody, how are y'all tonight?
This is Alan Freed, the ol' king of the Moondoggers
And it's time again for one of your favorite rock n' roll sessions
As you enjoy the Moondog Show
[Intro]
Three, four
Three, four
Three, four
[Instrumental]
All this energy callin' me
Back where it comes from
It's such a crude attitude
It's back where it belongs
[PreChorus]
All the little kids growin' up on the skids are goin'
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks
Jumpin' Jean-Jean is moonin' James Dean, he's goin'
[Chorus]
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks (Cleveland rocks)
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks
[Verse 1]
Mama knows, but she don't care
She's got her worries too
Seven kids and a phony affair
And the rent is due
[PreChorus]
All the little chicks with the crimson lips go
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks
Livin' in sin with a safety pin, she's goin'
[Chorus]
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks (Cleveland rocks)
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks (Cleveland rocks)
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks
[Bridge]
I've got some records from World War II
I play 'em just like me granddad do
He was a rocker and I am too
Oh, Cleveland rocks
Yeah, Cleveland rocks
So grab a place, grab a space
And yell and scream for more
[Chorus]
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks (Cleveland rocks)
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks (Cleveland rocks)
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks (Cleveland rocks)
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks (Cleveland rocks)
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks (Cleveland rocks)
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks (Cleveland rocks)
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks (Cleveland rocks)
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks (Cleveland rocks)
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks (Cleveland rocks)
[Instrumental]
Three, four
Three, four
Three, four
Ohio (Ohio)
