"C'mon Everybody" is a 1958 song by = Eddie Cochran and Jerry Capehart, originally released as a B-side. In 1959 it peaked in the UK (where Cochran had major success and where he died in 1960) at number six in the singles chart, and, thirty years later, in 1988, the track was re-issued there and became a number 14 hit. In the United States the song got to number 35 on the Billboard Hot 100. "C'mon Everybody" is ranked number 403 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

When Cochran recorded his lead vocal for the song, he also created an alternate version of the song called "Let's Get Together". The only change to the lyrics was exactly that: the phrase "Let's get together" in place of "C'mon everybody". This alternate version was eventually released on a compilation album in the 1970s.

C'mon Everybody:

C'mon everybody let's get together tonight

I got some money in my jeans and I'm really gonna spend it right

Been a-doin' my homework all week long

The house is empty, the folks are gone

Ooo C'mon everybody

Well my baby's number one but I'm gonna dance with three orfour

And the house'll be shakin' from my bare feet slappin' thefloor

When you hear that music you can't sit still

If your brother won't rock you then your sister will

Ooo C'mon everybody

Well we'll really have a party but we gotta put a guard outside

If my folks come home I'm afraid they're gonna have my hide

They'll be no more movies for a week or two

No more runnin' round with the usual crew

Who cares C'mon everybody

C'mon everybody

C'mon everybody
