Paul & George & Ringo, just a fraction of the Fab Four
|
Some still survive from Dave Clark's Five
|
Washed up on the Mersey Shore Jerry has a pacemaker
|
The hermit's name is Herman
|
That old man's Manfred Mann &
|
The Animals merely vermin
|
Hank Junior sang with Senior his cheatin heart was cold
|
And just a few years back
|
Natalie and Nat King Cole duetted and went gold
|
There's a way to make it pay
|
Though they've flown the coup
|
John Denver, Stevie Ray, Vaughan, Buddy Holly
|
Ricky Nelson, Otis Redding in one super group
|
|
Bring me the bones of Brian Jones
|
And Joplin's tinted glasses
|
Hendrix's pick, Keith Moon's drumstick
|
And a caftan of Mama Cass'
|
|
Rock and roll will never die, neither can her heroes
|
Just pick a figure with three digits
|
Then tack on about six zeros
|
The Beatles are forever, it's like John never got shot
|
Here's what gives, Elvis lives, what is in fact is not
