"Super Star"

"Super Star"



27 years old but can pass for 23,
Did an era on the scene when they discovered me,
Got some groovy smoothy threads and grew my hair,
With my poems and guitar I knew I’d be a star
A Superstar, Superstar - that’s what I are,

Big

Flown to the States on a super-sonic hype
Played the Filmore offered acid pills and pipe
My album smashed up the Cashbox charts
Warners Fox and Metro offered me a part
Superstar a Superstar that’s what I are
So big baby - all over

Every 45 was a gold record hit they analysed
Every word I ever writ
Packed the Hollywood Bowl played six encores
300 screamin’kids dislocated their jaws
Superstar Superstar that’s what I are

Did an interview with Rolling Stone
Wow

Pulled a groupie on each one night stand
No got higher than me and my band
My orgies were the talk of London town
Even Leon said he liked my sound
Kinda liked his too
Superstar that’s what I a Superstar

Then was then and now is now
Where did the girls and the good times go
I’m washed up a rock’n’roll has been
Rather be a has been had a good buzz
Than a souped up nothing just a never wa
Washed up like Charlie Gracie
Like Eddie Fontaine
Like back to pumping gas Man
Like nowhere

Well guess I always wanted to be a truck driver anyway........
Yeah

Maybe I could sling hash........
Or do a come back......

"Sweet Little Rock And Roller"

"Sweet Little Rock And Roller"



Only nine years old and sweet as she can be
All dressed up like a down town christmas tree
Dancin' and a-hummin' a rock-roll melody

She's the daughter of a well respected man
Who taught her how to judge and understand
Since she became a rock-roll music fan

Sweet little rock'n'roller
Sweet little rock'n'roller
Her daddy don't have to scold her
Her partner can hardly hold her
She never gets any older
Sweet little rock'n'roller

Should've seen her eyes when the band began to play
And the famous singers sang and bowed away
When the star performed she screamed and yelled: "hooray"

Ten tousand eyes were watching him leave the floor
Five thousand tongues were screamin': "more and more!"
About fifteen hundred waiting outside her door

Sweet little rock'n' roller

"Sweet Little Sixteen"

"Sweet Little Sixteen"



They're really rockin Boston
In Pittsburgh, P A
Deep in the heart of Texas
And 'round the Frisco Bay
All over St Louis
Way down in New Orleans
All the Cats wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen

Sweet Little Sixteen
She's just got to have
About half a million
Framed autographs
Her wallet's filled with pictures
She gets 'em one by one
She gets so excited
Watch her look at her run

Oh mommy mommy
Please may I go
It's such a sight to see
Somebody steal the show
Oh daddy daddy
I beg of you
Whisper to mommy
It's all right with you

Cause they'll be rockin on bandstand
In Philadelphia PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
And 'round the Frisco Bay
All over St Louis
Way Down in New Orleans
All the Cats wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen

Sweet Little Sixteen
She's got the grown up blues
Tight dress and lipstick
She's sportin' high heal shoes
Oh, but tomorrow morning
She'll have to chang her trend
And be sweet sixteen
And back in class again

Cause they'll be rockin on bandstand
In Philadelphia PA
Deep in the heart of Texas And 'round the Frisco Bay
All over St Louis Way Down in New Orleans
All the Cats wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen

"That Is Rock And Roll"

"That Is Rock And Roll"



In the beginning there was nothing but rock
Then somebody invented the wheel
And finally just begans to roll

Did you ever hear the tenor sax
Swingin' like a rusty axe
Honkin' like a frog, down in a holow log
Baby, that is rock and roll

Did you ever hear a guitar twang
Jingy - jingy - jingy - jang
Ever hear those strings doin' crazy things
Baby, that is rock and roll

That ain't no freight train that you hear
Rollin' down the railroad tracks
That's a country boy's piano band
Playin' in between the cracks

You say that music's for the birds
And you can't understand the words
Well, honey, if you did, you really blow your lid
'Cause baby, that is rock and roll

In the morning, in the evening
