See Johnny Thunder sitting on his motorbike
|
Riding along the highway,
|
Rock and Roll songs from the nineteen-fifties
|
Buzzing around in his brain.
|
Johnny Thunder he's one of the original bebop generation
|
And he's got no time for complicated music or too much sophistication.
|
|
He's one of the survivors,
|
The motorbike riders.
|
You ought to see Johnny Thunder riding down the highway
|
One of the rock and roll survivors,
|
Twelve bars flowing through his brain.
|
He digs Jerry Lee Lewis, Dion and The Belmonts,
|
And Johnny & The Hurricanes.
|
|
He plays Hound Dog, Oh Boy, and Great Balls of Fire
|
And Boppin' At The High School Hop.
|
And he's got no time for phonies or posers
|
'Cos they don't know how to reel and rock.
|
and he plays Little Egypt and Ooh Poo Pah Doo,
|
And he plays Poison Ivy and Blue Suede Shoes,
|
The Hollywood Argyles, Danny & The Juniors,
|
Dion & The Belmonts, Johnny & The Hurricanes.
|
|
He's one of the survivors,
|
The boppers and the jivers,
|
Yeah and he rocks all day.
|
Johnny & The Hurricanes, Johnny & The Hurricanes.
|
|
Got my freedom riding along the freeway.
|
I ride a hundred miles an hour but I don't mess up my D.A.
|
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock 'n' roll.
|
You can't stop rock 'n' rollin' music play.
|
(repeat last two lines)
|
|
Feel those vibrations flow in my brain.
|
Got my freedom riding down the highway,
|
Keeps me sane, feel alive,
|
I'm one of the survivors.
|
|
Feel all right.
|
First gear, second gear, third gear, fourth gear, all right.
|
Old Johnny Thunder looks a little overweight,
|
And his sideburns are turning grey.
|
But he still likes to bebop, boogie and jive
|
To his worn out seventy-eights.
|
Johnny Thunder.
|
He's alright.
|
He's one of the survivors,
|
Twelve bars flowing through his brain,
|
Jerry Lee Lewis, Dion & The Belmonts,
|
Johnny & The Hurricanes, Johnny & The Hurricanes.
