(Verse 1)
Well, I heard a sound late in the night,
A ringing bell under the moonlight,
It was singing in a rock ‘n roll choir,
Lit up my soul and set my heart on fire.
Walking down the streets of Memphis, so bright,
With a rhythm in walk, and a swagger so right,
Just around the corner, met my delight,
Yeah, it’s the evening of “Rock me” night.
(Chorus)
Rock me baby, under the moonshine,
Ring that bell, oh mama, it’s Rock ‘n Roll divine.
Rock me gently, with rhythm and rhyme,
Hear the bell toll, it’s of the old times.
(Verse 2)
Oh, that bell in the tower, sets the tone,
Echoes reverberating through my bones,
Hear it sway, hear it moan,
It’s calling us to reclaim our musical throne.
Put on your blue suede shoes, baby,
Tonight we’re gonna drive this town crazy,
To the sounds of the bell, so hazy,
At the heart of the beat, you’ll find me, maybe.
(Chorus)
So, rock me baby with the sounds so swell,
With that magic tune, only you can tell,
Go on! Rock me baby, oh, rock so well,
To the strain ringing loud, yeah, that’s the “Rock the Bell”.
(Bridge)
The guitars are strumming, playing the song,
A beat so right, it can’t go wrong,
With the moving crowd, just sway along,
In the bell’s melody we belong.
(Verse 3)
Under the neon lights, the dance begins,
In the rhythm of the bell, everyone spins,
Lost in the music, pardoning our sins,
To the rhythm of the rock, everybody grins.
(Chorus)
Rock me baby, under the starry shell,
In the heart of the night, where dreams dwell,
Rock me baby, under the passion spell,
To the endless pulse of the “Rock the Bell”.
(Outro)
As the bell tolls, bringing the end,
A sweet goodbye, my friend,
The beat will stay, its echo will mend,
With the roll of the rock, till the very end.
Until we meet again, under the “Rock the Bell”, my friend.
