It Happened 25 Years Ago Songtext

von BZN

It happened 25 years ago, my friend
We started up to be a rock 'n' roll band
So we're gonna have a party tonight
We're gonna rock
(We're gonna rock)
We're gonna roll
(We're gonna roll)
We're gonna rock, we're gonna roll until the morning light

Johnny B. Goode
(Berry)
Deep down in Louisiana
Close to New Orleans
'Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood an old cabin
Made of earth and wood
There lives a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who'd never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play the guitar
Just like a ringing a bell
Go go go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Go Johnny go go
Johnny B. Goode

Da doo ron ron
(Spector/Greenwich)
I met him on a Monday and my heart stood still
Da doo ron ron
Da doo ron ron
Somebody told me that his name was Bill
Da doo ron ron
Da doo ron ron
Yes my heart stood still
Yes his name was Bill
And when he walked me home
Da doo ron ron
Da doo ron ron

That'll be the day
(Petty/Holly/Allison)
Well that'll be the day
When you say goodbye
That'll be the day
When you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave
You know it's a lie 'cause
That'll be the day
When I die

I'm gonna knock on your door
(Schröder/Wayne)
I'm gonna knock on your door
Ring on your bell
Tap on your window too
If you don't come out tonight
When the moon is bright
I'm gonna knocking ringing tappin' till you do
Hey little girl
This ain't no time to sleep
Let's count kisses 'stead of countin' sheep
How how can I hold you near
With you up there
And me down here

I'm gonna knock on your door
Ring on your bell
Tap on your window too
If you don't come out tonight
When the moon is bright
I'm gonna knocking ringing tappin'
Knocking ringing tappin'
Knocking ringing tappin'
Knocking ring until you do

Wake up little Susie
(B. Bryant/F. Bryant)
Wake up little Susie wake up
Wake up little Susie wake up

We're both been sound asleep
Wake up little Susie and weep
The movie's over, it's four o'clock and we're in trouble deep

Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie
We've gotta go home

Do you love me
(Gordy)
Do you love me
(Do you love me)
Do you love me
(Do you love me)
Do you love me
(Do you love me)
Now that I can dance

Good golly miss Molly
(Blackwell/Marascalgo)
Good golly miss Molly
You sure like to ball
Good golly miss Molly
You sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and rollin'
Can't hear your momma call

Mon amour
(Th. Tol/J. Keizer)
Mon amour tu es ma rose
Qui ne va jamais passer
Je t'adore de jour en jour
Mademoiselle d'amour
Mon amour
Mon amour

Rave on
(Petty/West/Tilghman)
Well well the little things you say and do
They make me want to be with you
Rave on! It's a crazy feelin'
And I, I know it's got me reelin'
When you say "I love you"
Rave on!

Well well well rave on
Rave on and tell me
Tell me not to be lonely
Tell me you love me only
Rave on to me

Well well well rave on
Rave on and tell me
Tell me not to be lonely
Tell me you love me only
Rave on to me

Telephone baby
(Otis)
Yes it's me and I'm lonely
I had to call you on the phone
Whoa-ho-how now baby don't leave me alone
Don't you know I got a feeling
I wanna hold you tight
Whoa-ho-how now baby I'm yours for the rest of my days
I'm yours for the rest of my days

The locomotion
(King/Coffin)
Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now
(Come on baby, do the locomotion)
Know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
(Come on baby, do the locomotion)
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learnin' your abc's
So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
Come on, baby jump up, jump back
Oh well, I think you got the knack
Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now
(Come on baby, do the locomotion)

Do you wanna dance
(Freeman)
Well, do you wanna dance and a hold my hand
Squeeze me baby I'm your man
Oh baby, do you wanna dance

Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance

Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance

Peggy Sue
(Petty/Holly/Allison)
If you knew, Peggy Sue
Then you'd know why I feel blue 'bout Peggy
'Bout Peggy Sue
Oh well I love you gal
Yes I love you, Peggy Sue
Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue
Pretty pretty pretty pretty Peggy Sue, oh oh Peggy
My Peggy Sue
Oh well I love you gal, yes I love you Peggy Sue

Wipe out
