Lyrics:

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
