Well, the joint was rocking
Going round and round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking
'Til the moon went down
Well, it sounded so sweet
I had to take me a chance
I rose out of my seat
And I had to dance
I started moving my feet
And clapping my hands
Yeah, we kept on rocking
Going round and round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking
'Til the moon went down
About twelve o'clock
When the place was packed
The front doors were locked
I said the place was packed
When the police knocked
Those doors flew back
But I kept on rocking
Going round and round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking
'Til the moon went down, yeah
About twelve o'clock
Around lock up time
Well, the doors were locked
Said the place was packed
When the police knocked
Those doors flew back
But I kept on rocking
Going round and round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking
'Til the moon went down
Yeah, they kept on rocking
Going round and round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking
'Til the moon went down
Going round and round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking
What a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rocking
'Til the moon went down
Well, it sounded so sweet
I had to take me a chance
I rose out of my seat
And I had to dance
I started moving my feet
And clapping my hands
Yeah, we kept on rocking
Going round and round
Yeah, reeling and a-rocking

Round & Round - David Bowie
David Bowie's "Round & Round" stands as a quintessential example of his early glam rock and art rock experimentation during the mid-1960s. Recorded in the United Kingdom, the track showcases Bowie's signature theatricality and vocal range, blending psychedelic influences with a driving rhythm that defined his emerging style. While often associated with his later iconic works like "Space Oddity" or "Heroes," this recording highlights the raw energy and studio innovation present in his formative years. The song reflects the broader cultural shift toward performance art and genre-blending that characterized Bowie's career, establishing a foundation for his enduring legacy in rock music.
