folks right, work real hard, playing tunes and writing songs.
    But there’s another side to me, that you don’t see a lot.
    I like to kick my shoes off and get crazy and get hot.
     
    Chorus.
     
    3. My iPod’s filled with pop and jazz and Motown and with blues
    And soul and folk and hip-hop, not to mention country tunes.
    But there’s times I just can’t help it, I need a concert hall
    filled with glam and spotlights and speakers twelve feet tall.
     
    Chorus.
     
    4. Way up high in heaven, the choir sits on clouds,
    And plays their harps and trumpets, and makes angelic sounds.
    But I just have this feeling that once or twice a year,
    St. Pete digs out his Fender for all paradise to hear.
     
    Ending Chorus:
    Now, baby, baby, listen up—you better know it’s true
    He’s in the mood …
    In the mood …
    In the mood … for rock ’n’ roll!
     
    Sometimes it’s the only way to fix on achin’ soul:
    Ditch the soft, crank up the loud and go with rock ’n’ roll.
    Rock ’n’ roll,
    rock ’n’ roll.
    When you’re down and when you’re out and just can’t be consoled.
    Get yourself in the mood, the mood for rock ’n’ roll.
