I was born one night about twelve o'clock
|
(Ha-ha-ha)
|
I come in this world playin' a gold guitar
|
My father was around stickin' out his chest
|
(Hee-hee)
|
A-now, mama this boy he gon fee' you a mess
|
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
|
Yeah! Yea-ha, Ooh, uh-huh
|
|
Now, people came from miles around
|
Yeah, just to hear my little guitar sound
|
Now, some of 'em said I had what it takes
|
If I keep on practice I'd be famous one day
|
(Ha-ha)
|
Woo, I'm a mess!
|
I'm a killer-diller
|
Uh-huh, yea-hey, a-uh, uh-huh
|
|
Early in the middle of the night
|
A car drove up with four headlights
|
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
|
Now, a man stepped out wit' a long cigar
|
He said, 'Sign this line and I can make you a star'
|
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
|
I said, 'Now, what's in it man, what's in it for me?'
|
He says, 'I'd, play yo' guitar son and wait an see'
|
Here I am! (heh-heh-heh, heeee)
|
The girls liked me, they say, 'It's crazy, it sound nice
|
Uuh-uuh
|
|
My first engagement was in Chicago
|
<I'm playin' with my band and they're playin' tonight>
|
I played fo' some people I'd never seen before
|
<I'm playin for the fans, what the fans all like>
|
It was good too (ha-ha-ha-ha)
|
|
<Who wants our band>
|
<But like the parents can't handle it>
|
They like it
|
<What the fans, what the fans all like>
|
Sound nice
|
<If my fans can't handle it>
|
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
|
<Now, we're playin' and we're singin' our song>
|
Yeah, ah-ha-ha-ha
|
<Ev'rything is goin' our way>
|
<What the fans, what the fans all like>
|
Yeah, man

<What the fans, what the fans all like>
