Låttext
One, two, three o’clock, four o’clock, rock
Five, six, seven o’clock, eight o’clock, rock
Nine, ten, eleven o’clock, twelve o’clock, rock
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight
Put your glad rags on, join me, hon
We’ll have some fun when the clock strikes one
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock ’til broad daylight
We’re gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight
When the clock strikes two, three and four
If the band slows down, we’ll yell for more
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock ’til broad daylight
We’re gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight
When the chimes ring five, six and seven
We’ll be right in seventh heaven
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock ’til broad daylight
We’re gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight
Oh, when it’s eight, nine, ten, eleven too
I’ll be goin’ strong and so would you
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock ’til broad daylight
We’re gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight
When the clock strikes twelve, we’ll cool off then
Start rockin’ round the clock again
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight
We’re gonna rock, rock, rock ’til broad daylight
We’re gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight

Bob Dylan är en av musikens huvudgrundare och såklart även en av Rock n’ rollens huvudgrundare med låten som har den världsledande Rocklåtstexten.
Låten är Like a rolling stone som påstås ha försommarens och Rock n’ rollens avgörande livsenergi.
En otroligt fångande påhälsning av våren med både refräng och verser, se den fantastiska låttexten nedan.
Låttext:
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime
Didn’t you?
People call, say, ”Beware doll, you’re bound to fall”
You thought they were all
Kidding’ you?
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin’ out
Now you don’t talk so loud
Now you don’t seem so proud
About having to be scrounging
Your next meal
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be without a home?
Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?
Ah, you’ve gone to the finest school
All right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get
Juiced in it
Nobody’s ever taught you how to live out on the street
And now you’re gonna have to get
Used to it
You say you never compromise
With the mystery tramp but now you realise
He’s not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say
”Do you want to make a deal?”
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To be on your own?
With no direction home?
A complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?
Ah, you never turned around to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did
Tricks for you
Never understood that it ain’t no good
You shouldn’t let other people
Get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain’t it hard when you discover that?
He really wasn’t where it’s at
After he took from you everything he could steal?
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
To have on your own?
With no direction home?
Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?
Ah, princess on the steeple and all the
Pretty people they’re all drinkin’, thinkin’ that they
Got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you’d better take your diamond ring
You’d better pawn it, babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags
And the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you
You can’t refuse
When you ain’t got nothin’
You got nothin’ to lose
You’re invisible now, you got no secrets
To conceal
How does it feel?
Ah, how does it feel?
To be on your own?
With no direction home?
Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?

Låttext:
If I could stick my pen in my heart
And spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would you think the boy is strange? Ain’t he strange?
If I could win ya, if I could sing ya
A love song so divine
Would it be enough for your cheating heart
If I broke down and cried? If I cried?
I said I know it’s only rock ’n roll but I like it
I know it’s only rock ’n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can’t you see that this old boy has been lonely?
If I could stick a knife in my heart
Suicide right on stage
Would it be enough for your teenage lust
Would it help to ease the pain? Ease your brain?
If I could dig down deep in my heart
Feelings would flood on the page
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would ya think the boy’s insane? He’s insane
I said I know it’s only rock ’n roll but I like it
I said I know it’s only rock’n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can’t you see that this old boy has been lonely?
Mm, and do ya think that you’re the only girl around?
I bet you think that you’re the only woman in town, oh yeah
I said I know it’s only rock ’n roll but I like it
I said I know it’s only rock ’n roll but I like it (Woo!)
I know it’s only rock ’n roll but I like it, oh yeah
I know it’s only rock ’n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I like it, I like it, I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Ooh, I like that
(Only rock and roll, but) Ooh yeah, I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Yeah, I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Oh yeah, I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Oh yeah, but I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Yeah, I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Oh yeah, but I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Oh yeah, I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Oh I like it
(Only rock and roll, but) Oh I like it
Yeah, I like it
Oh, I like it
Oh, I like it
Ooh yeah, I like that
