Around And Around Lyrics

I said the joint was rocking
Goin' round and round
Yeah, reeling and a rocking
What a crazy sound
And they never stopped rocking
'Til the moon went down

Well it sounds so sweet
I had to take me chance
Rose out of my seat
I just had to dance
Started moving my feet
Whoa to clapping my hands

I said the joint was a rocking
Goin' round and round
Yeah, reeling and a rocking
What a crazy sound
And they never stopped rocking
'Til the moon went down

Yeah at twelve o'clock
Yeah the place was packed
Front doors was locked
Yeah the place was packed
And when the police knocked
Those doors flew back

But they kept on rocking
Goin' round and round
Yeah, reeling and a rocking
What a crazy sound
And they never stopped rocking
'Til the moon went down

And they go on rocking
Goin' round and round
Yeah, reeling and a rocking
What a crazy sound
And they never stopped rocking
'Til the moon went down

Well the joint stayed a rocking
Goin' round and round
Yeah, reeling and a rocking
What a crazy sound
And they never stopped rocking
'Til the moon went down

Around And Around Song Chart

Chuck Berry wrote this and was the first to record it. Keith Richards thought Chuck Berry was "The epitome of rock and roll playing."

This was the first song Mick Jagger sang when he and Keith Richards sat in with the group Blues Inc. in 1962. It was also the first song The Rolling Stones ever recorded. They cut it in March of 1962, although this version was never released. They re-recorded it in 1964 for the 12 x 5 album. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

The Stones performed this on their first Ed Sullivan show appearance in 1964. Sullivan announced that he would never have them on again, but ended up inviting them back several times.
