[Chorus]
Well, I heard the news there's good rocking tonight
Well, I'm gonna hold my baby as tight as I can
Tonight she'll know I'm a mighty, mighty man
I heard the news, there's good rocking tonight

[Chorus]
Oh, yes! I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
Well, I'm gonna hold my baby as tight as I can
Tonight she'll know I'm a mighty, mighty man
I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight

[Verse 1]
Well, meet me in a hurry behind the barn
Don't be afraid, I'll do you no harm
I want you to bring my rocking shoes
'Cause tonight I'm gonna rock away all my blues
I heard the news, there's good rocking tonight

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 2]
Oh, yes! I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
Well, I'll hold my baby as tight as I can
Tonight she'll know I'm a mighty, mighty man
I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
[Verse 3]
Well, Deacon Jones and Elder Brown
Two of the slickest cats in town
They'll be there just waitin' to see
Stomping and jumping at the jamboree
Like, hey man! There's good rockin' tonight

[Verse 4]
Well, Sweet Lorraine, Sioux City Sue
Sweet Georgia Brown, Caldonia, too!
They'll all be there shouting like mad
Like, "Hoy, sister! Hoy, sister! Ain't you glad?
We heard the news There's good rockin' tonight"

[Outro]
Oh yes, we'll rock tonight
Hey hey, we'll rock tonight
Hoy hoy, we'll rock tonight
Hey hey, we'll rock tonight
I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight!
