 INTRO
 1ST VERSE
I  feel uptight on a Saturday night
Nine  O'clock the radio's the only light
I  hear my song and it pulls me through
Comes  on strong tells me what I go to do  I got  to
Get  up ! Everybody's gonna move their feet
 Get down  ! Everybody's gonna leave their seat.
 You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City
 Get Up!  Everybody's gonna move their feet
 Get down  ! Everybody's gonna leave their seat
 2nd Verse
Gettin'  late I just can't wait
Ten  o'clock and I know I gotta hit the road
First  I drink then I smoke
Start  up the car and I try to make the midnight show
 Rhythmn Fig 1
 3rd Verse
Movin'  fast doin' ninety five
Hit  top speed but I'm still movin' much too  slow
I  feel so good I'm so alive
Hear  my song playin' on the radio  it goes
 end with C)
 Drum fill
 SOLO with 2 Guitars
 You gotta lose your life in Detroit Rock City
 4th Verse
Twelve  o'clock I gotta rock
There's  a truck a head lights starin' at my eyes
Whao,  my god no time to turn
I  got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die Why  ?
Get  up! Everybody's gonna move their feet. ( Get Down!)
Get  up ! Everybody's gonna leave their seat
 Get Down  !
