Well, Jeanie, Jeanie, Jeanie come and dance with me
There's a real wild party and the booze is free

Yeah yeah yeah tough luck
Yeah yeah yeah then we'll rock
Rock and roll, well do what you're told
Well I live in Bellmore U.S.A.
Well I rock all night and I sleep all day

First we'll fuck

Yeah yeah yeah then we'll rock
Rock and roll, well do what you're told

Baby bay you will have to wait
