[Intro]
Gonna get a ticket cause I really gotta go
There's a party goin' down at the rock 'n' roll show
Baby, get ready if you really wanna go
Now everybody's goin' to the rock 'n' roll show

[Verse 1: Brian Wilson]
I saw some surfer girls in west LA
And right away, it got me thinkin' 'bout my high school days
Well I was always kinda shy, you know I never learned to dance now
And I remember bein' nervous, I was scared to take a chance now
As it happened I was lookin' through my mamma's things
I found some rock and roll records and I learned to sing now

[Chorus: The Beach Boys & Brian Wilson]
Rock 'n' roll to the rescue
(Whoa, we're gonna)
Rock 'n' roll's gonna get you
(Whoa, we're gonna)
Rock to the rescue
I said it rescued me
And it'll rescue you

[Verse 2]
Now believe it when I tell ya that I never felt alive
(Hey now, hey now)
(Oh, hey now, hey now)
Not 'til the night I started rockin' to my mamma's 45s
(Hey now, hey now)
(Hey now, hey now)
Well it was one for the money now and two for the show, yeah
(Hey now, hey now)
(Oh, hey now, hey now)
Hey, you better get ready now and go, cat, go
(Hey now, hey now)
(Oh, hey now, hey now)
Yeah, then Long Tall Sally started boppin' 'round the room yeah
(Hey now, hey now)
(Oh, hey now, hey now)
She's singing wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-whop-bam-boom yeah
(Hey now, hey now)
[Chorus: The Beach Boys & Brian Wilson]
Rock 'n' roll to the rescue
(Whoa, we're gonna)
Rock 'n' roll gonna get you
(Whoa, we're gonna)
Rock to the rescue
I said it rescued me
And it'll rescue you

[Verse 3: Brian Wilson, Mike Love, The Beach Boys, Brian Wilson & Carl Wilson]
So we got a band together, man, we're really quite the rage now
(Hey now, hey now)
(Oh hey now, hey now)
And I lose my inhibitions when I move across the stage now
(Hey now, hey now)
(Oh hey now, hey now)
We're the hottest ticket goin', what a fantasy flight now
(Hey now, hey now)
(Oh hey now, hey now)
They tell me fifty thousand people come to see us every night now
(Oh hey now, hey now)

[Chorus: The Beach Boys & Brian Wilson]
Rock 'n' roll to the rescue
(Whoa, we're gonna)
Rock 'n' roll gonna get you
(Whoa, we're gonna)
Rock to the rescue
I said it rescued me
And it'll rescue you
I said it rescued me
(Rock)
(Rock)
[Outro]
Gonna get a ticket cause I really gotta go
There's a party goin' down at the rock 'n' roll show
Baby, get ready if you really wanna go
Now everybody's goin' to the rock 'n' roll show
