All the verses are repeated but in a different order



Have you heard the news

There's good rockin' at midnight

Oh, I'm gonna hold my baby with all my might

What a wonderful time we had that night

Hey, hey, there's good rockin' at midnight



Now sweet Georgia Brown and sweet Lorraine

They got caught on Caledonia's land

Soon, pretty soon they told it all

Those fellas got drunk and they had a ball

Crying hey, hey, there's good rockin' at midnight



Now I'll tell you all about our deacon Joe

He got so high they had to take him home

Hear the news about Ellis Brown

He stole a chicken and he ran out of town

Hey, hey, there's good rockin' at midnight



Caledonia got drunk and grinned like a pig

She fell down and lost her wig

Charlie Brown she laughed and she got sick

And Caledonia got mad and grabbed a brick

Crying hey, hey, there's good rockin' at midnight



We're gonna rock, we're gonna rock

We're gonna rock, we're gonna rock --

There's good rockin' at midnight
