Lyrics

Well, we've got a lot, a lot, a lot of hard work today We gotta rock at the government center Oh, make the secretaries feel better When they put those stamps on the letters And they got a lot, a lot, a lot of great desks and chairs Uh-huh, at the government center We gotta make the secretaries feel better When they put those stamps on all those letters We gotta rock-a rock-a rock-a nonstop tonight Uh-huh, at the government center Make the secretaries feel better When they put the stamps on the letters Won't stop until we see secretaries smile We gotta see some office boys, they're jumpin' for joy Tell old Mr. Ayhern, "Calm down a while You know that's the only way the center is ever gonna get better" So let's rock-a rock-a rock-a nonstop tonight Uh huh, at the government center Make the secretaries feel better When they put the stamps on the letters We're gonna make 'em feel better Oh, look out We're gonna help them out Take all our equipment Do rock and roll, that's right Use that feeling we're having inside, we're gonna transmit Those secretaries will have to stand up and not be able to sit Oh, it's gonna be fun Oh, we won't get scared, we can't keep it down Oh, that feelin' inside we're gonna transmit it to life, baby Aw, modern dancin', yeah, yeah
