Reelin’ & Rockin’ Songtext
von George Thorogood & the Destroyers

Now I gotta know,
now do you have any obscenity laws in this part o′ town?

(NO!)

That's good, ′cause I feel like gettin' dirty tonight here!
Haha, I'm tired of singing all those pretty songs you see...

Alright! So if you don′t mind,
me and the fellas feel like gettin′ dirty one time!

Look out baby!

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 half past one
We're at a rock ′n' roll show havin′ nothin' but fun
And we reeled, reelin' and a-rockin′
Reelin′ and a-rockin', workin′ till the break of dawn

Looked at my watch and it was almost two
There's nothin′ I'd rather do than... rock with you
And we reeled, reelin′ and a-rockin' baby
We was reelin' and a-rockin′ until the break of dawn


I looked at my watch, it was a little past three
I was diggin′ her and she was diggin' me
And we reeled...
Reelin′ and rockin' child, till the break of dawn

Looked at my watch, it was almost four
She said "Lonesome George, let′s do it some more"
And we reeled, whoa, reelin' and rockin′
Reelin' and rockin' child, till the break of dawn

Look out baby!

Looked at my watch and it was almost eight
Now I was a little slow but she was a-waitin′
And we reeled... reeled!
Reelin′ and rockin' till the break of dawn

Looked at my watch and it was almost nine
She said "Ooh George, baby, that sure feels fine"
And we reeled... R R R R R R!
Reelin′ and rockin' till the break of dawn

Is everybody happy?

Looked at my watch and it was almost one
You gotta admit it folks: you′re all havin' fun
Reelin′ and rockin'...
Reelin' and rockin′ till the break of dawn


Good night everybody!
Good night baby!
