[Intro]
You know, we have a lot of hard work to do today
What might that be, Jonathan?
[Verse 1]
Well we've got a lot, a lot of hard work today
We gotta rock at the Government Center
To make the secretaries feel better
When they put the stamps on the letter
[Verse 2]
They got a lot, a lot, a lot of great desks and chairs
Now, at the Government Center
Where they put the stamps on the letter
And then they write it down in the ledger
[Verse 3]
So we got to rock, rock, rock non-stop tonight
Uh-huh, at the Government Center
Where they put the stamps on the letter
And then they write it down in the ledger
[Verse 4]
We won't stop until we see secretaries smile
And see some office boys jump up for joy
We'll tell old Mr. Ahern: "Calm down a while
Sir, that's the only way the Center is ever goin' to get better"
[Verse 5]
So, we got to rock, rock, rock non-stop tonight
At the Government Center
Where they put the stamps on the letter
And then they write it down in the ledger
[Verse 6]
Oh, tonight
We'll make them feel all right
Ah, tonight
What you say man?
Oh, yes, tonight
We'll go there tonight
We'll take the everything you've got
We'll take the amps, we'll take the guitars
We'll do anything just to make these secretaries feel better
At the Government Center
[Outro]
Ah, tonight, man
Yes, tonight
Ah, let's hear about it
I feel good
Let's make them feel good
Alright
Hey, hey, hey
