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
