You grew up on rock 'n' roll
So why deny it now?
To leave your passion in the cold
Just won't be allowed
Every day your mom and dad
Tell you it's a sin
But your rockin' brothers and sisters
Will stick by you through thick and thin
And the beat goes on and on and on
And you can feel it proud
A generation rockin' on
Get ready for the shake up, oh
Everybody wake up
Oh, yeah
Get ready for the shake up
Get ready for the shake up, oh
Oh
You've got homework and yard work
It's way too much hard work
But that can't hold you back
Come Friday night on the boulevard
You'll have a rock 'n' roll attack
They'll be raisin' their fists to the power chords
Playin' on the radio
They're sayin' this is what we all been livin' for
'Cause we're all part of the show
And the beat goes on and on and on
And you can feel it proud
A generation rockin' on
Get ready for the shake up, oh
Everybody wake up
Oh, yeah
Get ready for the shake up
Get ready for the shake up, oh
Oh
Hey
Get ready for the shake up, oh
Everybody wake up
Oh, yeah
Get ready for the shake up, oh
Get ready for the shake up
Get ready for the shake up, oh
Everybody wake up (everybody wake up)
Get ready for the shake up, oh
Get ready for the shake up
Shake up
