It Happened 25 Years Ago by BZN Lyrics
It happened 25 years ago, my friend
We started up to be a rock 'n' roll band
So we're gonna have a party tonight
We're gonna rock (We're gonna rock)
We're gonna roll (We're gonna roll)
We're gonna rock (Rock), we're gonna roll
Until the morning light
Johnny B. Goode (Berry)
Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans
'Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood an old cabin, made of earth and wood
There lives a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who'd never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play the guitar, just like a ringing a bell
Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go
Johnny B. Goode
Da doo ron ron (Spector/Greenwich)
I met him on a Monday and my heart stood still
Da doo ron ron, da doo ron ron
Somebody told me that his name was Bill
Da doo ron ron, da doo ron ron
Yes, my heart stood still
Yes, his name was Bill
And when he walked me home
Da doo ron ron, da doo ron ron
That'll be the day (Petty/Holly/Allison)
Well, that'll be the day when you say goodbye
That'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie 'cause
That'll be the day when I die
I'm gonna knock on your door (Schr?der/Wayne)
I'm gonna knock on your door
Ring on your bell
Tap on your window too
If you don't come out tonight
When the moon is bright
I'm gonna knocking, ringing, tappin' 'till you do
Hey, little boy, this ain't no time to sleep
Let's count kisses 'stead of countin' sheep
How, how can I hold you near?
With you up there and me down here
I'm gonna knock on your door
Ring on your bell
Tap on your window too
If you don't come out tonight
When the moon is bright
I'm gonna knocking, ringing, tappin'
Knocking, ringing, tappin', knocking, ringing
Tappin', knocking, ring until you do
Wake up little Susie (B. Bryant/F. Bryant)
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
We've both been sound asleep
Wake up little Susie and weep
The movie's over, it's four o'clock
And we're in trouble deep
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie
We've gotta go home
Do you love me (Gordy)
Do you love me? (Do you love me?)
Do you love me? (Do you love me?)
Do you love me? (Do you love me?)
Now that I can dance
Good golly miss Molly (Blackwell/Marascalgo)
Good golly, miss Molly
You sure like to ball
Good golly, miss Molly
You sure like to ball
When you're rockin' and rollin'
Can't hear your momma call
Mon amour (Th. Tol/J. Keizer)
Mon amour, tu es ma rose
Qui ne va jamais passer
Je t'adore de jour en jour
Mademoiselle d'amour
Mon amour
Mon amour
It happened 25 years ago, my friend

We're gonna rock (We're gonna rock)
We're gonna roll (We're gonna roll)
We're gonna rock (Rock), we're gonna roll
Until the morning light
Rave on (Petty/West/Tilghman)
Well, well, the little things you say and do
They make me want to be with you
Rave on! It's a crazy feelin'
And I, I know it's got me reelin'
When you say "I love you"
Rave on!
Well, well, well, rave on
Rave on and tell me
Tell me not to be lonely
Tell me you love me only
Rave on to me
Well, well, well rave on
Rave on and tell me
Tell me not to be lonely
Tell me you love me only
Rave on to me
Telephone baby (Otis)
Yes, it's me and I'm lonely
I had to call you on the phone
Whoa-ho-how now, baby, don't leave me alone
Don't you know I got a feeling
I wanna hold you tight
Whoa-ho-how now, baby, I'm yours for the rest of my days
I'm yours for the rest of my days
The locomotion (King/Coffin)
Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now
(Come on baby, do the locomotion)
Know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
(Come on, baby, do the locomotion)
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learnin' your abc's
So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
Come on, baby, jump up, jump back
Oh well, I think you got the knack
Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now
(Come on, baby, do the locomotion)
Do you wanna dance (Freeman)
Well, do you wanna dance and-a hold my hand?
Squeeze me, baby, I'm your man
Oh, baby, do you wanna dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance?
Peggy Sue (Petty/Holly/Allison)
If you knew, Peggy Sue
Then you'd know why I feel blue
'Bout Peggy
'Bout Peggy Sue
Oh, well I love you gal
Yes, I love you, Peggy Sue
Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty Peggy Sue
Oh, oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh well I love you, gal, yes, I love you, Peggy Sue
