3
Gather 'round, cats, and I'll tell you a story(
4
About how to become an All American Boy
5
Buy you a gittar and put it in tune
6
You'll be rockin' and rollin' soon
7
Impressin' the girls,
8
Pickin' hot licks, and all that jazz
9
I-I bought me a gittar a year ago
10
Learned how to play in a day or so
11
And all around town it was well understood
12
That I was knockin' 'em out like Johnny B. Goode
13
Hot licks, showin' off, ah number one
14
Well, I 'd practice all day
15
And up into the night
16
My papa's hair was turnin' white
17
'Cause he didn't like rock''roll
18
He said, you can stay, boy
19
But that's gotta go
20
He's a square
21
He just didn't dig me at all
22
So I took my gittar, picks and all
23
And bid farewell to my poor ole pa
24
And I split for Memphis where they say all
25
Them swingin' cats are havin' a ball
26
Sessions, hot licks and all
27
They dig me
28
I was rockin' and boppin'
29
And I's a gettin' the breaks
30
The girls all said that I had what it takes
31
When up stepped a man with a big cigar
32
He said "come here cat
33
I'm gonnna make you a star
34
I'll put you on Bandstand
35
Buy ya a Cadillac
36
Sign here, kid
37
I signed my name and became a star
38
Havin' a ball with my gittar
39
Driving a big long Cadillac
40
And fightin' the girls off ma back
41
They just kept a'comin'
42
Screamin', yeah-they like it
43
So I'd pick my gittar
44
With a great big grin
45
And the money just kept on pourin' in
46
But then one day my Uncle Sam
47
He said (sound of 3 footsteps)
48
Here I am
49
Uncle Sam needs you, boy
50
I'm-a gonna cut your hair
51
Ah-Take this rifle, kid
52
Gimme that gittar, yeah
