It’s a Saturday night and I’m home alone<br>

With the music on quiet I’m flying solo<br>

Then my feet start moving to the sound of the beat<br>
 +
Put the music up loud hear it in the street<br>

Then the neighbours start banging on my front door<br>

Throw the door wide open saying what’s your point<br>

Come on in let’s rock this joint<br>

And all the people are swaying to the musical beat<br>

We rock down the road and down to the town<br>

And all the people stare and smile and get down<br>

It starts off with “the whole house rockin’”, and then “the whole town rockin’”, “the whole world rockin’” and then I went, “Well, why don’t we have ‘the whole Universe rockin’’?” So that’s kind of, and it’s just for fun, you know. It’s not a serious comment on cosmology, you know, but it just fun to think, yeah, you can get the whole cosmos rockin’, you know.

Lyrics

What planet is this, mmmh ?
Let there be rock ’n’ roll

It’s a Saturday night and I’m home alone
With the music on quiet I’m flying solo
Then my feet start moving to the sound of the beat
Put the music up loud hear it in the street
Then the neighbours start banging on my front door
Throw the door wide open saying what’s your point
Come on in let’s rock this joint

We got the whole house rocking
We got the whole house rocking
We got the whole house rocking
We got the whole house rocking
We got the whole house rocking
To the mighty power of rock ’n’ roll

We dance out of the door, dance into the street
And all the people are swaying to the musical beat
We rock down the road and down to the town
And all the people stare and smile and get down
Then the police man is saying “stop this noise”
But the beat takes over now he’s one of the boys
The beat’s taken over now he’s one of the boys

Come on down let’s rock this town

We got the whole town rocking
We got the whole town rocking
We got the whole town rocking
We got the whole town rocking
We got the whole town rocking
To the mighty power of rock ’n’ roll

Let’s Go
Let it roll
Are you ready?
Said are you ready?
The cosmos rocks

Across seven seas through the Panama,
Now they’re rockin’ on beaches and they’re rockin’ in bars
Don’t ask me how and don’t ask me why
From Miami Beach down to old Bondi
There’s a rock ‘n’ roll fever in every place
Next thing you know they’ll be rockin’ out in space

Come on down let’s rock this place
Come on down and
Sock it to me

We got the whole world rocking
We got the whole world rocking
We got the whole world rocking
We got the whole world rocking
We got the whole world rocking
To the mighty mighty mighty power

We got the cosmos rocking
We got the cosmos rocking
We got the universe rocking
We got the cosmos rocking
We got the cosmos rocking
To the might power of rock ’n’ roll
