It's hot up in the west end, there's panic right downtown As the gangs assemble, coming up from underground Well jesus I don't know which side I should be on I'm a class contender if anything goes wrong When it's time to rock We're the only ones No one takes this block 'cos we're number one We sneaked through the no go, very late last night Out up from the back streets, cruising for a fight Well Jackie's got his six string, he can play behind his back Mickey's out from bellevue, he's just makin' tracks When it's time to rock We're the only ones No one takes this block 'cos we're number one As we rocked through the midnight, took 'em all by storm The police boys didn't have a chance, didn't even get warm Oh daddy, why am I sittin' here, I'm not a member of the bar I'm not the only wild one in a hot wired car When it's time to rock We're the only ones No one takes this block 'cos we're number one
