Lyrics for Reelin' and Rockin'

Sometimes I will, then again I think I won't Sometimes I will, then again I think I won't Sometimes I do, then again I think I don't Well, I looked at my watch, it was 9:21 Without a rock 'n' roll dance, havin' nothin' but fun And we rolled, reelin' and rockin' We was reelin' and rockin', and rollin' 'til the break of dawn Well, I looked at my watch, it was 9:32 There's nothin' I'd rather do than dance with you And we rolled, reelin' and rockin' We was reelin' and rockin' way 'til the break of dawn Well, I looked at my watch, it was 9:43 And every time I'd spin, she'd spin with me We reeled, reelin' and rockin' We was reelin' and rockin', and rollin' 'til the break of dawn Well, I looked at my watch, it was 9:54 I said, "Dance ballerina girl, go, go, go go" And we go, reelin' and rockin' We was reelin' and rockin', and rollin' 'til the break of dawn Well, I looked at my watch, it was 10:05 Man, I didn't know whether I was dead or alive But I was rolled, reelin' and rockin' We was reelin' and rockin', and rollin' 'til the break of dawn Well, I looked at my watch, it was 10:26 But I'ma keep on dancin' 'til I got my kicks We were reelin', reelin' and rockin' We was reelin' and rockin', and rollin' 'til the break of dawn Well, I looked at my watch, it was 10:28 I gotta get my kicks 'fore it gets too late We were reelin', reelin' and rockin' We was reelin' and rockin', and rollin' 'til the break of dawn Well, I looked at my watch, it was 10:29 I had to hold her hand, she was still holdin' mine We were reelin', reelin' and rockin' We was reelin' and rockin', and rollin' 'til the break of dawn Well, I looked at my watch, and to my surprise I was dancin' with a woman that was twice my size We were reelin', reelin' and rockin' I was reelin' and rockin', and rollin' 'til the break of dawn Well, I looked at my watch, and it was time to go The band leader said, "We ain't playin' no mo'" We were reelin', reelin' and rockin' We was reelin' and rockin' way 'til the break of dawn
