Everybody Rock Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, down in New Orleans on a back alley street
Everybody goes for the boogie woogie beat
Everywhere you go they really swing
But it knocks them out to hear the guitar man

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 2]
Now, if you go down, be sure and dig
The place to go is called Greasy Pig
On Saturday night, around three or four
Everybody rocks when the sax man blow

[Saxophone solo]

[Verse 3]
Everybody goes there from near and far
Just like they do during the Mardi Gras
Everything is good when it gets real late
The piano man plays the eighty-eight

[Piano solo]

[Bridge]
Everybody blow
Everybody blow
Boy, we gon' walk tonight
[Verse 4]
Now, just before day, they like to swing
They all rock and roll when the bass man playin'
But when they get their kicks, you can see
They all crack up from the drummer's beat

[Drum solo]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
