Lyrics

 * Back-up singers:
 * Hail, hail rock 'n' roll!


 * Bart and back-up singers:
 * Long live rock 'n' roll!
 * Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll!
 * Hail, hail rock 'n' roll!


 * Buster Poindexter :
 * Up in the mornin' and after school,
 * The teacher is teachin' the golden rule.
 * American history, practical math.
 * Ya studyin' hard, ya hopin' to pass.
 * Workin' your fingers right down to the bone,
 * And the guy behind you won't leave you alone.


 * Bart:
 * Ring, ring goes the bell.
 * The cook in the lunch room is ready to sell.
 * Bleh!
 * You're lucky if you can find a seat.
 * You're fortunate if you have time to eat
 * Back in the classroom, open your books.
 * Aw, man.
 * The teacher don't know how mean she looks.


 * Buster Poindexter :
 * Soon as three o'clock rolls around...


 * Bart:
 * I'm outta here, man, I'm goin' to town


 * Buster Poindexter :
 * You finally lay your burden down.


 * Bart:
 * I'm nobody's fool! I'm nobody's clown!


 * Buster Poindexter :
 * Close up your books, get out of your seat...


 * Bart:
 * This is a plan that can't be beat!


 * Buster Poindexter :
 * Down the halls and into the street!


 * Bart:
 * My dancin' shoes are on my feet!


 * Buster Poindexter :
 * Up to the corner and 'round the bend...


 * Bart:
 * Can't handle this just tell me when!


 * Buster Poindexter :
 * Right to the juke joint, you go in.


 * Bart:
 * I'm here, I said, it's me, Bartman!


 * Bart and Buster Poindexter :
 * Drop the coin right into the slot.
 * You've gotta hear somethin' that's really hot.
 * With the one you love, you're makin' romance.
 * All day long you been wantin' to dance...


 * Bart:
 * Woah, yeah!


 * Bart and Buster Poindexter :
 * I'm feeling the music from head to toe.
 * Round and round and round we go.


 * (saxophone solo, then Joe Walsh plays a solo)


 * Bart, Buster Poindexter and Back-up Singers:
 * Hail, hail rock 'n' roll!


 * Bart and Buster Poindexter :
 * Deliver me from the days of old!

 * Long live rock 'n' roll!


 * Bart and Buster Poindexter :
 * The beat of the drums, loud and bold!
