Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show - 1972

|
Ha, ha, ha, I don't believe it
|
Da, da, ah, ooh, don't touch me
|
Hey, Ray!
|
Hey, Sugar!
|
Tell them who we are .....
|
|
Well, we're big rock singers
|
We've got golden fingers
|
And we're loved everywhere we go (that sounds like us)
|
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
|
For ten-thousand dollars a show (right)
|
We take all kinds of pills that give us all kind of thrills
|
But the thrill we've never known
|
Is the thrill that'll get ya when you get your picture
|
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
|
|
(Rolling Stone) Wanna see my picture on the cover
|
(Stone)Wanna buy five copies for my mother (yeah)
|
(Stone)Wanna see my smilin' face
|
On the cover of the Rolling Stone (that's a very, very, good idea)
|
|
I got a freaky ole lady name a cocaine Katy
|
Who embroideries on my jeans
|
I got my poor old grey haired daddy
|
Drivin' my limosine
|
Now, it's all designed to blow our minds
|
But our minds won't really be blown
|
Like the blow that'll get ya when you get your picture
|
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
|
|
(Rolling Stone) Wanna see our pictures on the cover
|
(Stone) Wanna buy five copies for our mothers (yeah)
|
(Stone) Wanna see my smilin' face
|
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
|
|
(Hey, I know how, rock and roll!!)
|
|
[Freaky Guitar Break]
|
|
(Ah, that's beautiful)
|
|
We got a lot of little teenage blue-eyed groupies
|
Who do anything we say
|
We got a genuine Indian Guru
|
Who's teaching us a better way
|
We got all the friends that money can buy
|
So we never have to be alone
|
And we keep getting richer but we can't get our picture
|
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
|
|
(Rolling Stone) Wanna see my picture on the cover
|
(Stone) Wanna buy five copies for my mother (I want one!)
|
(Stone) Wanna see my smilin' face
|
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
|
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
|
|
(Man, I don't know why we ain't on the cover, Baby)
|
(We're beautiful people)
|
(I ain't kiddin', why, we would make a beautiful cover
|
(Fresh shot, right up front, man)
|
(I can see it now, we'll be up on the front)
|
(Smilin', man ...... ahh, beautiful!)
