I used to play guitar in a rock ‘n’ roll band,
And the girls wouldn't leave me alone,
The cretin hop, the blitzkrieg bop,
Now and then one of my own,
Dancin', prancin', later on romancin',
On the amp in the back of my van,
Fallin' in love for an hour or two,
Next night do it again,
(Chorus)
Part of me really misses those nights,
Didn't have a care in the world,
Beer and fun and rock 'n' roll,
Till along came a special girl,
She was tall and thin and a whole lotta men,
Cleared away to let her walk on by,
After my set, she said it's time we met,
Let's go, boy, your place or mine?
We talked all night, we got so tight,
Ya know I’m still with her today,
But once in a while, I think with a smile,
About the girls who led me astray,
(Chorus)
(Solo)
My girl’s cool, she’s nobody’s fool,
She knows I miss rockin’ at night,
She said, go man go, play a few shows,
Ain’t gonna make me uptight,
I know you’re mine, it’ll be just fine,
I know I’m not taking a chance,
But just in case, I say to your face,
No matter what, boy, it stays in your pants,
It’s the essence of the Beach Boys, Rockpile, and The
Ramones all rolled into one.
Tommy and The Rockets are the 1963-65 Beach Boys reborn in 2016 Denmark - armed with supremely infectious melodies, harmonies to die for, and a stack of Ramones singles. If you remember rock n' roll radio, this is your new favorite band!...more
