I dig rock and roll music
And I love to get the chance to play (and sing it)
I figure it's about the happiest sound going down today

The message may not move me
Or mean a great deal to me
But hey, it feels so groovy to say:
I dig the Mamas and the Papas at "The Trip"
"Sunset Strip in L.A.
And they got a good thing going
When the words don't get in the way
And when they're really wailing
Michelle and Cass are sailing
Hey, they really nail me to the wall

I dig Donovan in a dream-like, tripped out way
His crystal images tell you 'bout a brighter day
And when the Beatles tell you
They've got a word "love" to sell you
They mean exactly what they say

I dig "rock and roll music
I could really get it on in that scene
I think I could say something if you know what I mean
But if I really say it, the radio won't play it
Unless I lay it between the lines
