  But there's times I just can't help it, I need a concert hall filled with glam and spotlights and speakers twelve feet tall.

  Chorus.

  4. Way up high in heaven, the choir sits on clouds, And plays their harps and trumpets, and makes angelic sounds.

  But I just have this feeling that once or twice a year, St. Pete digs out his Fender for all paradise to hear.

  Ending Chorus:

  Now, baby, baby, listen up--you better know it's true He's in the mood ...

  In the mood ...

  In the mood ... for rock 'n' roll!

  Sometimes it's the only way to fix on achin' soul: Ditch the soft, crank up the loud and go with rock 'n' roll.

  Rock 'n' roll,

  rock 'n' roll.

  When you're down and when you're out and just can't be consoled.

  Get yourself in the mood, the mood for rock 'n' roll.
