Sometimes it rages, rock a little
Even when it's calm, rock a little
Just like the sea, still I rock a little
Say it was just like me, still rock a littleThen you knew her, funny little dancer
And you watched her all night long
You were trying to learn from her teachers
One thing that she wanted, she would not be tangled upHit it, hit it
It's about time, Lily
Well, I know, Lily
Hit the stage, dancin', hit itShe's home now
She says, "I've gone far beyond that song"
Rock and roll, ballerina
Where else would she go?He knows his daughter, says
"Where does she live?"
He says, "Oh, up there somewhere"
Then he says, "Go ahead, Lily"Hit it, hit it
It's about time, Lily
Hit it, well, I know, Lily, hit it
Hit the stageLots of them and all one of a kind
But the most important thing was what is on her mind
Pale, pink, satin, worn out in a week
But she loved you the most and you said"Go ahead, Lily, hit it"
No explanations and I tell you no, you say nothing
That is how songs are written
Stories are told, rumors are started, ooh butthey still stayGo ahead, Lily
Hit it, hit it
It's about time, Lily
Hit the stage, dancin', I know
