Lyrics

[Chorus]
He's in love with rock 'n' roll, whoa
He's in love with getting stoned, whoa
He's in love with Janie Jones, whoa
He don't like his boring job, no
He's in love with rock 'n' roll, whoa
He's in love with getting stoned, whoa
He's in love with Janie Jones, whoa
He don't like his boring job, no
[Verse 1]
And he knows what he got to do
He knows he's gonna have fun with you
Lucky lady
And he knows when the evening comes, when his job is done
He'll be over in his car for you
[Chorus]
He's in love with rock 'n' roll, whoa
He's in love with getting stoned, whoa
He's in love with Janie Jones, whoa
He don't like his boring job, no
[Verse 2]
In the in-tray lots of work
But the boss at the firm always thinks he shirks
But he's just like everyone, he's got a Ford Cortina
That just won't run without fuel
Fill her up, Jacko
[Chorus]
He's in love with rock 'n' roll, whoa
He's in love with getting stoned, whoa
He's in love with Janie Jones, whoa
He don't like his boring job, no
[Verse 3]
And the invoice, it don't quite fit
There's no payola in his alphabetical file
Except for the government man
And he's just gonna really tell the boss
He's gonna really let him know exactly how he feels
It's pretty bad
[Chorus]
He's in love with rock 'n' roll, whoa
He's in love with getting stoned, whoa
He's in love with Janie Jones, whoa
He don't like his boring job, no
[Outro]
No
No
Let them know
Let them know
