| Cruisin round in a fliptop rocket – Lookin for a Dolly – whose a real gone hottie Like crazy man, he wants to make the scene – With a hep cat babe whose a livin dream Bestest threads, lookin cool – Just a crazy cat. Who ain’t no fool Rip it up, gonna sing some blues – Gonna shimmy n shake in his blue suede shoes. Ready Steady like Daddy O – Put pedal to the metal – and go man go Like Maybelline, White Lightning too – In his 38 Dodge, he’s coming after you Rock it.. Can’t stop it – He’s got it.. In the pocket He’s a Real Gone Cat just singing his song and everybody sang along Had a little band, playing RocknRoll – Just a kid, sixteen years old Fresh from the country with a black guitar – never thought he’d be a star Pickin’ and a grinnin in little halls, – backyard gardens and birthday calls Shy as a cat, but he loved to sing – and that’s why he gave it everything Rock it.. Can’t stop it – He’s got it.. In the pocket He’s a Real Gone Cat just singing his song and everybody sang along The girls they came to dance and swing, – but some just came to look at him They said he had real sleepy eyes – a look or two would hypnotise 56 a runner up, – In 57 he’s really hot R-o-c-k-a-b-i-ll-y band with Bill – playing every night until 58 the North West Mail – back to the farm n far away sheep n cows he did survive – Rock’n’Roll was still alive Rock it.. Can’t stop it – He’s got it.. In the pocket He’s a Real Gone Cat just singing his song and everybody sang along In 59 came back again – just in time cause rock was king TV Shows and Number 1’s – Country tours were lotsa fun The years have past just like the wind – The ups n downs that life will bring They’ve come and gone but here he is – doing what he always did Rock it.. Can’t stop it – He’s got it.. In the pocket He’s a Real Gone Cat just singing his song and everybody sing along Rockabilly RocknRoll – Country songs, Blues and Soul Nothings changed except the years – Getting old, a natural fear Till the Lord says, come back home – He’ll pick n grin on every show singing songs n watching smiles – RocknRoll is still his Life. Rock it.. Can’t stop it – He’s got it.. In the pocket He’s a Real Gone Cat just singing his song and everybody sing along |

| It was at sweet 16 I learnt guitar and that’s what started the dream Fingers cutting right to the bone Just to get the right sound Learning all the songs Before Rock’n’Roll had come along Country music to Johnnie Ray I’d play ‘em all until the dawn hat slap bass sound Was a T chest, broom with string around Lead guitar that Billy M would play That was our Rockabilly Band We always liked to play We loved to do it, even without pay I’d keep on singing – didn’t want to stop And no one else did want us to We’d sing of Mystery Trains That’s all right and Walking in the Rain Lord I miss the fun we had back then In my Rockabilly Band |
