I`ve been singing rock most all my life I got three little boys and a sweet young wife I feed `em good cause I make good bread thank God for the man that said Rock`n roll is the answer son you can`t beat `em join `em Get your guitar get your drum get your set of iron ear drums A thousand watt column and you`re in the business son Got my first Cadillac in `54 since then I had about five more Mercedez Benz and a Porsche too the other day I was thinking this wouldn`t do Cause the price of a Cadillac times two comes out to the cost of a Rolls Royce new But soon the Cadillac`s obsolete and the Rolls Royce is still a running sleet Figure four years instead of two before you gotta buy something new Put an extra fifteen hundred in to pay for the bar and air-conditionin` You don`t need no chauffer get your bartender and ride baby So the other day I drove down from a hill went to my bank to get me some bills And boots and Levi`s worn and tan I ambled into the Rolls Royce stand Showroom four was quiet that day I walked up to a silver grey Silver Cloud all sleek and long standin` there loose and so alone Such a beautiful sight I never did see sparkled and shone like a Christmas tree He was really something to admire I loved in close and I hicked the tire Had to get some attention I got some quickly Well I was comin` my hair down in the chrome when up steps a man in a herring bone Said good morning son may I help you I said yes sir I`d like to testdrive This new Silver Cloud II Well he jumped back his face was sore he looked me over from my head to my toe His face formed into a sneer he said sorry kid this car stays here And don`t you kick tose tires don`t open the doors don`t touch the chrome You`re gettin` dandruff on the radiator Well I got put on for an hour or more they ushered me in the bossman`s door It wasn`t long till I came out the bossman followed up with a shout Open the door there look alive and take this boy for a testdrive In the silver grey Silver Cloud the little cat`s loaded Lumps in is clothes gotta look for those How do you think I got where I am today hmm Now I`m driving along ole 501 listening to them big wheels hum Gotta get home before it`s five take my wife and kids for a drive Now the moral is the part that`s best never judge a man by the way he is dressed Don`t you brush him off or treat him wrong He may be the singer of rock songs don`t you forget it What`s that pounding noise what`s burning Well the temperature is up and the oil is down Termites running around and around on my dashboard Spots on my windshield trading time
