[Chorus]
Open the door baby, turn on the light
We're gonna have a party tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker

[Verse 1]
I know it's late and you're already down
You ain't ready for people around
I'm gonna tell you something I found out
Whatever you think life is about
Whatever life may hold in store
Things will happen that you won't be ready for

[Chorus]
I've got a shirt so unbelievably bright
I'm gonna dig it out and wear it tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker

[Verse 2]
Don't have to change—don't have to be sweet
Gonna be too many people to possibly meet
Don't have to feed 'em—they don't eat
They've got their power supplies in the soles of their feet
They exist for one thing—and one thing only
To escape living the lives of the lonely
[Bridge]
For a friend of mine
From the neighborhood
Moving down the line
After tonight he'll be gone for good

[Verse 3]
Here comes Ricky, Danny and Doerge
They got Petie's number, looking at me
Russell and Bobby setting up the drums
Gonna pound on 'til the landlord comes

[Chorus]
Don't want to argue, I don't wanna fight
But there will definitely be a party tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker

[Bridge]
'Til the morning comes
'Til the car arrives
'Til we kill the drums
'Til we lose our lives
[Chorus]
Hey Jenny—tell Peggy Sue
We're gonna do the only thing you can do
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker

[Outro]
There's a party tonight
There's a party tonight
There's a party tonight
There's a party tonight
