Rock This Town Lyrics
I had my hair piled high and my baby just looks so right
Well, pick you up at ten got to have you home by two,
Mama don't know what I've got in store for you
Well that's alright 'cause we're looking as cool as can be
I'll have a whiskey on the rocks and change of a dollar for the jukebox
Well, I put a quarter right into that can, but all it played was disco man
C'mon pretty baby, let's get outta here right away.
We're gonna rock this town, make 'em scream and shout
Let's rock, rock, rock man rock, rock
We're gonna rock till we pop, we're gonna roll till we drop
We're gonna rock this town, rock it inside out
Well there's a real square cat he looks nineteen seventy four
Well, you look at me once, you look at me twice,
You look at me again there's gonna be a fight
We're gonna rock this town, we're gonna rip this place apart
We're gonna rock this town, make 'em scream and shout
Let's rock, rock, rock man rock, rock
We're gonna rock till we pop, We're gonna roll till we drop
We're gonna rock this town, rock this place apart
We're gonna rock this town, make 'em scream and shout
Let's rock, rock, rock man rock, rock
We're gonna rock till we pop, We're gonna roll till we drop
We're gonna rock this town, rock it inside out
We're gonna rock this town, rock it inside out
I love that 50's feel that they give to this song, it's meaning is about a band playing at a dance and rocking the audiance.
It has a Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley & His Comets feel to it. I read somewhere that the Stray Cats were influenced by Bill Haley & His Comets though, so that makes sense then.
It is a very similar song to Bill Haley's "Rock This Joint"

Rockabilly is an awesome sound/genre of music. The song is about playing a dance and giving the people an awesome show and wanting more. The Stray Cats were influenced by Bill Haley, Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent.
Definitely a great dance song. Rockabilly totally rocks my bobby socks <3333333333333
I think I danced to this one every night for a year back in the early 80's. It's such a fun song. Obviously about having fun. I love the energy of this track. Setzer is one cool cat :)
