A distant friend of Johnny B. Goode 



Jason B. Sad was a lonely lad 

His head was a bed for everyone 

His clothes was his life 

but his heart was a knife 

Inscribed on it was "rock 'n' roll is cruel" 



Take me to school, boy 

Leave me alone, boy 

Slice me a bone of the Universe 

Take me to school, boy 

Leave me alone, boy 

Slice me a bone of the Universe 



Jason got weird and he pierced his ears 

A gypsy alone in his gallantry 

He met Shaky Sue, who wore only blue 

And they shared in their teenage misery 



Then Jason read books and wore hard looks 

He swapped Sue for an artisan 

His winters were long and a fantastic song 

Grew from his head like a marigold
