Fender Stratocaster
|
|
Born in the 50s looking so bold
|
Fender Stratocaster
|
Everythin' your parents hated about rock 'n roll
|
Fender Fender Fender
|
|
Wangin' and a twangin, sounding so tough
|
Fender Stratocaster
|
And the kids in my corner, they can't get enough
|
Fender Fender Fender
|
Like the wind in your hair when the top is down
|
Like taillights headed for another town
|
Fender Stratocaster, well there's something about that sound.
|
|
Like gasoline in the sand
|
Fender Stratocaster
|
Like a motorcycle at a hotdog stand
|
Fender Fender Fender
|
Like the Dunkin Donuts in Mattapan
|
Fender Stratocaster
|
Like the Thrifty Drugs in Santa An'
|
Fender Fender Fender
|
Well the sound is thin and the sound is cheap
|
Like a tin can falling on a dead end street
|
Fender Stratocaster, well there's something about that sound.
|
|
(Guitar)
|
|
Well how can it sound so tough?
|
Fender Stratocaster
|
And it's made to be treated rough.
|
Fender Fender Fender
|
It's got the ancient Egyptian script
|
Fender Stratocaster
|
It's got the wang bar from the crypt.
|
Fender Fender Fender
|
Oh you should have known it right off the bat
|
One look and you know it would sound like that
|
Fender Stratocaster, well there's something about that sound.
|
|
Like gasoline in the sand
|
Fender Stratocaster
|
Like a motorcycle at a hotdog stand
|
Fender Fender Fender
|
Like the Dunkin Donuts in Matapan(?)
|
Fender Stratocaster
|
Like the Thrifty Drugs in Santa An'
|
Fender Fender Fender
|
Oh and the sound so thin it's barely there
|
Like a bitchy girl who just don't care
|
Fender Stratocaster, well there's something about that sound.
|
|
Like Woo Woo Ginsberg at the juke box joint
|
You hear the sound and you get the point.
|
Fender Stratocaster, well there's something about that sound.
|
Oh Oh Oh Alright, etc.
