Everybody Was Rockin’ Songtext
von Betty Wright

I got an invitation
It was from an old friend of mine
She was throwing a zodiac party
It read, don′t forget to wear your sign

I never cared too much for partying
You see, partying wasn't my style
But I decided that it wouldn′t hurt to make a scene
For just a little while

When I got there I opened up the door
And you won't believe what I saw!

Everybody was rockin', mmm, hm, hm
Everybody was rockin′
Everybody was rockin′, hey, hey, hey
Everybody was rockin'

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, get on down
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, get on down
Huh, won′t cha get on down


I had a good time at the party
We were rockin' all through the night
And before I left that funky get together
It put my soul in flight

I was supposed to be home by twelve
And there it was a quarter to 4
I could imagine all the things that my momma would say
When I put my feet in the door

So I eased the key in the door
And you won′t believe what I saw!

Everybody was rockin', father and mother
Everybody was rockin′, sister and brother
Everybody was rockin', mmm, get down granny
Everybody was Rockin', look at aunt Maddy, woo

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, get on down
Woo-ooh, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, get on down
Huh, won′t cha get on down

Rockin′, rockin', rockin′, rockin'

Ooh, ooh, Rockin′, rockin', rockin′, rockin', rockin'
Ooh, ooh, oh, yeah
Rockin′, rockin′, rockin', rockin′, rockin'
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
