The following is a true story |
Only the names have been changed |
To protect the guilty - |
Well I left my job in my home town |
And I headed for the smoke |
Got a rock 'n' roll band and a fast right hand |
Gonna get to the top |
Nothing's gonna stop us, no nothing |
So if you've got the money, we've got the sound |
You put it up and we'll put it down |
If you got the dollar, we got the song |
Just wanna boogie woogie all night long |
Yeh boogie |
I got holes in my shoes |
I got holes in my teeth |
I got holes in my socks |
I can't get no sleep |
I'm trying to make a million |
And I got patches on the patches |
On my old blue jeans |
Well they used to be blue |
When they used to be new |
When they used to be clean |
But I've got a Momma whose a hummer |
Whose keeping me alive |
While I'm in the band doing drinking with the boys |
She's working 9 to 5 |
She knows her place that woman |
Just you wait - |
One of these days see me driving round town |
In my rock 'n' Rolls Royce with the sun roof down |
My bottle of booze |
No summer time blues |
Shouting out, "Look at me" |
In my rock 'n' roll voice |
Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire |
repeat |
"Hey hello Howard, how you doin', my next door neighbour?" |
"Oh yea... Get your fuckin' jumbo jet off my airport" |
