Well, I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
 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
 Oh yes, I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
 Oh, 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
 Oh, meet me in a hurry behind the barn
 Don't you 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 rockin' tonight 

Oh yes, I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
 Oh, 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
 Wel, Deacon Jones and Melville Brown
 Two of the slickest cats in town
 They'll be there, just a wait and see
 Stomping and jumping at the jamboree
 Hey man, there's a good rockin' tonight
 Well, sweet Lorraine, Sioux City Sue
 Sweet Georgia Brown, Caldonia too
 They'll all be there, shouting like mad
 Hoy sister, hoy sister, ain't you glad
 We heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
 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 a good rockin' tonight
