Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stoppin' on the byway
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' robbed (Gettin' robbed)
Gettin' stoned (Gettin' stoned)
Gettin' beat up (Gettin' beat up)
Broken boned (Broken boned)
Gettin' had (Gettin' had)
Gettin' took (Gettin' took)
I tell you, people
It's harder than it looks
'Cause it's a long way to the top
If you want to rock 'n' roll
Yes, it's a long way to the top
If you want to rock 'n' roll, oh no
You think it's easy playin' one night stands
Well, try playin' in a rock-roll band
It's a long way to the top
If you want to rock 'n' roll
Hotel, motel (Hotel, motel)
Make you wanna cry (Make you wanna cry)
Lady do the hard sell (Lady do the hard sell)
Know the reason why (Know the reason why)
Gettin' old (Gettin' old)
Gettin' grey (Gettin' grey)
Gettin' ripped off (Gettin' ripped off)
Underpaid (Underpaid)
Gettin' had (Gettin' had)
Gettin' took (Gettin' took)
I tell you, people
It's harder than it looks
'Cause it's a long way to the top
If you want to rock 'n' roll
Alright, now take it down nice and quiet
The next thing I wanna hear
Is a face-melting solo by our own
Zach Mooney, have some
Here we go
Woo
Dude, is my face okay?
I think you melted it off
Alright, now the next thing I wanna hear
The very next thing
I don't wanna hear anything
Unless I hear a gut-bustin' drum solo
From Freddie, take it away
Ah, it's a long way to the top
If you want to rock 'n' roll
Yes, it's a long way to the top
If you want to rock 'n' roll, oh
My gut got busted
What did you do, Freddie?
Now I think it's time
We heard from a little somebody
Lawrence on lead solo keyboard, go
Woo
Long way to the top
If you want to rock 'n' roll
Alright, so, listen up, you guys
Here's what I need
I need you girls to repeat after me
Rrrrooby-dooby-dooby (rooby-dooby-dooby)
Scooby-dooby-doo (scooby-dooby-doo)
Chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chick-chick
(Chicka-chicka-chicka-chicka-chick-chick)
Ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ki
(Ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ki)
Alright, now the first test is over
I'm gonna need Alicia
To give me a two-second vocal solo, go
Here it comes
'Cause it's a long way to the top
If you want to rock 'n' roll
Oh, don't bogart the mic, Alicia
That was beautiful, but now it's time
Come on, Tameka, melt it
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
That was tasty
Marta, blow my brains out, go
The movie is over (the movie's nearly over)
But we're still on screen (but we're still on screen)
Everybody's rockin' (everybody's rockin')
And we came from Forest Green
We came from Forest Green, oh
It's time for my solo
Movie's almost over (movie's almost over)
Check it out now
Gettin' it out (gettin' it out)
Check it out now
Oh, it's a long way to the top
If you want to rock 'n' roll
Yes, it's a long way to the top
If you want to rock 'n' roll
Alright, that's it
Stop it, guys, stop
Seriously, you guys
Alright, take five
Take five
You wanna go? Alright
That was a good class
