๐ Lyrics
(This time I'm going to try something on the old sides here
See what you think of this)
Once upon a time a song had melody and rhyme
And lovely ballads used to fill the air
The songs were sweet and lyrical, and sang about the miracle
Of love in bloom and love beyond despair
But gone are the June songs, the how-high-the-moon songs
And baritones who used to sing romantic
Are singing songs more frantic than romantic
A one, a-two, a-three o'clock, four-o'clock rock
You gotta sing rock or else you'll go in hock
Five, a-six, a-seven o'clock, a-eight o'clock roll
Throw away your senses and your self control
But brother I've got news, Mr. Cole won't rock and roll
There's some simple rules of don'ts and do's
If you wanna sell records, stick to rubbered soled shoes
Dungarees, bubble gum, peroxide hair
Cus the modern day dream girl's a real nightmare, but no no no
Mr. Cole won't rock and roll
Now, when a guy has got his eye for some tomatah
He would never dare to call her lady fair
If he doesn't call his girl an alligator
He's the lowest form of human, he's a square
Now, when Tin Pan Alley serenades a beauty
Do they sing of Rosemary or sweet Lorraine
No, they dedicate a hymn to Tutti Frutti
Who's as tender as a dame from Mickey Spillane
Ahoohwah oohwah, ahoohwah oohwah, ahoohwah oohwah
A why do fo-ools fall in love
Ahoohwah oohwah, ahoohwah oohwah, ahoohwah oohwah
Kooky, go park the car
(You know, I often wondered if Rock and Roll
Had been out quite a few years ago
Whether some of the songs that were popular then
Might have sounded a wee bit like this)
Pretend you're sloppy when you're blue ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Some beat up dungarees will do ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Or perhaps)
Answer me, daddio, does your mother come from Kokomo
All she ever says is go go go, forget it daddio
A they (they)
A they tried (they tried)
A they tried to (they tried to)
A they tried to tell (they tried to tell)
A they tried to tell us (what?)
They tried to tell us we're too young
To go ste-eh-eady my lo-ove
Eady, my lo-ove
A talk to me Mona, whisper in my ear
I said talk to me Mona, whisper in my ear
Moaning Lisa, moaning Lisa you're too wholesome
Won't you dig me at the coffee house tonight
Many cats a have been drugged on your doorstep
They just lie there, and they die there
Let em lie there, let em die there
Oh Mona don't be mean, lets make the scene tonight
(And we can't forget this one by all means)
There was a cat, a very strange enchanted cat
They said he travelled very far, played guitar in his hopped up car
A he said come dwell in heartbreak hotel
I think uh Elvis was uh his name
And then one day, the crazy day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things, hot rod kings
Daddio said he, the greatest thing you'd ever learn
Is just to rock and be rolled in return
I said a one, a-two, a-three o'clock, four-o'clock rock
You gotta sing rock or else you'll go in hock
Five, a-six, a-seven o'clock, a-eight o'clock roll
Throw away your senses and your self control
But brother I've got news sir
Nathaniel must refuse ya
Mr. Cole won't rock and roll
(Wow what am I doing, I got carried away over there)
I've got news sir
Nathaniel must refuse ya
Mr. Cole won't rock and roll
(I could if I wanted though)
See what you think of this)
