Rock Around The Clock
Tony Crombie & The Rockets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dance until we just can't,
Keep clapping our hands to the songs
And get dancing around to the joyful sound that the band plays
As his smiling face just shines away, its making things as big as a train?
April, May, June and July we'll hang outside
August and February all the time
Talking our way through March
Hanging out always til this starts
Over and over again, you promise that it won't end
So I will try to find the right way to thank you again

How I, I am not into the idea of living without you
And I, I am not into the idea of being without you
And no, this won't be a sad song
There's gonna be claps and singing along
'cause there's song's about now well, that would just feel wrong

Beautiful colors that came for you
So this ones goes out to the reds and yellows and blues
And of course I can't forget, all the beautiful colors on the day that we first met
So I will never know the right way to say thanks
For all the nights and days you spent hanging out
Cause that's what this is about

How I, I am not into the idea of living without you
And I, I am not into the idea of being without you
And no, this won't be a sad song
There's gonna be claps and singing along
'cause you're there when you talk and you're there not to stop and you're with me

Around the clock, you are, you are [Repeat: x1]
Around the clock

And just so you'll know know everyone else is not so I,
I am not into the idea of living without you
And I, I am not into the idea...
And no, this won't be a sad song
There's gonna be claps and singing along




'Cause you're there when you talk and you're there not to stop
And you're with me around the clock
