[Intro] [Energetic 1950s electric guitar riff, upbeat drums and saxophone] [Verse 1] The gym is jumping, the dance floor is hot We’re twisting and shaking with all that we’ve got Your petticoat spins in the spotlight's gleam And my pomade hair looks just like a dream We rock to the beat, the world’s spinning wild You are my beautiful high school child [Chorus] [Catchy doo-wop backing vocals "shoo-wop-bee-doo"] It is the night of all nights, the curtain will fall Out of the school yard and leaving it all The engines are roaring, the blacktop is hot This is the night that we never forgot [Verse 2] [Saxophone solo fills] The prom queen crown looks so good in your hair We are the royalty here, it's only fair But outside the rival is revving his Ford He challenges me without saying a word The tires are screeching, the headlights shine bright I’m gripping the wheel and your hand so tight [Chorus] It is the night of all nights, the curtain will fall Out of the school yard and leaving it all The engines are roaring, the blacktop is hot This is the night that we never forgot [Verse 3] [Music shifts gears, fast driving rockabilly beat] Three, two, one – and the green light drops My Chevy takes off and it never stops A dangerous turn in the dark of the night We’re chasing the victory, holding on tight The engine is screaming, the finish line’s near We’re crossing the mark with a rockabilly cheer [Chorus] [Grand finale, screaming saxophone and rock and roll energy] It is the night of all nights, the curtain will fall Out of the school yard and leaving it all The engines are roaring, the blacktop is hot This is the night that we never forgot [Outro] [Fast electric guitar solo, tires screeching sound effect, big finish] [End]
