Rock 'n' roll machine!
I'm an American teenage raider!
You better be in by eleven 'o'clock,
But I never come in 'til later.

Whatcha gonna do?
Where ya gonna go?
I ain't in to going steady.
Don't do this, don't do that,
I'll grow up when I'm ready!
And I don't wanna be just a weekend kid,
I wanna party whenever I can...

(Ch)
'Cause I don't care about going to school,
And I don't care about having friends,
And I don't care 'cause I'm a rock 'n' roll mach-i-ine!!

It's a Saturday night,
And I'm looking for some party action!
I don't care about getting laid,
I want some quick and easy satisfaction!

Whatcha gonna do?
Where ya gonna go?
I ain't in to going steady.
Don't do this, don't do that.
I'll grow up when I'm ready!
And I don't wanna be just a weekend kid,
I wanna party whenever I can...

Rock, rock, Rock 'n' Roll!
Rock, rock, Rock 'n' Roll!
Rock, rock, Rock 'n' Roll!
Rock, rock, Rock 'n' Roll!!

It's a Saturday night,
