Thinkin ’bout the night life
In the ladies powder room
Brother’s like a howlin’ wolf in the light of the silvery moon
Joey’s like a Pavlo’s dog when he starts to salivate
A Hardly man himself is hard to shake his rattle snake
Me, I got a brand new babe
You know something just ain’t right
I say yeah, yeah
Can’t stop rockin’ tonight
Hangin’ at the shopping mall
With a watchman full of sash
Leave your smile outside the door
‘Cause the kids be kicking ass
My old boot heels be smokin’
You really got to understand
We’re burning down the town tonight
When the new shit hits the fan
Me, I got a brand new babe
You know something just ain’t right
I say yeah, yeah
Can’t stop rockin’ tonight
Yeah, yeah, can’t stop rockin’ tonight
Lyin’ on your back tonight
Watch the moon eclipse
Maybe eatin out tonight
But ya just ain’t leavin’ tips
So you best watch out what you do
And who you do it with
‘Cause you’ll be kickin’ ass tonight
With the boys in Aerosmith
