hail hail rock and roll 
come here son and let me help you sell your soul 
sit right down and everything will be just fine 
sign right here and it will all work out in time 

sit right down and i will tell you about the plan 
see i'm gonna make you 50 thousand dollars and i'll only take 10 million 
but did i mention i got a new mercedes benz 
smile pretty be witty come meet your brand new friends 

(chorus) everybody thinks that you'll go far 
you're gonna be a rock and roll star 

now you got a banker and a lawyer on 16th avenue 
that's the funny things they call you when you spend a couple extra years in school 
they got big black cars and dollar signs in their eyes too 
what is a boy like me to do 

i got this guitar i play a little out of tune 
but it makes no difference if i get all the right tattoos 
and hey get a look at these cheekbones 
who cares if mick taylor was ever even in the rolling stones 

(chorus) 

besides he didn't even get that far 
but me i'm gonna be a rock and roll star 
yes i am so now we're living happy underneath the sony tree 
i got my big top 10 record on wkd? 
Something or other bartender could i have another and another and another you're lucky we're even drinking in this bar 

(chorus)
