lyrics

DON'CHA WANNA ROCK & ROLL

Our first big break was at Joyous Lake
It was no big break at all
We drove all night, gonna make it right
Said we're gonna have a ball
We took the stage, I was feelin' good
Asked us for some Johnny Cash
All we're gonna do is play our music
Music they said wouldn't last

I told 'em
Don'cha, don'cha, don'cha wanna rock & roll
And they said no

Well now we played on a boat for the EPA
All the politicians were there
There was John V Lindsay, Norman Mailer
All they could do was stare

I told 'em
Don'cha, don'cha, don'cha wanna rock & roll
And they said no

Hey everybody don't you understand
I'm only happy, happy playin' in a rock & roll band
Oh, we gotta play, ohhh, we gotta play

Well, now we played on a bar on the Upper Eastside
Whoa, the neighbors screamed
Tore down the walls and we broke down the doors
Boy, what does this mean

I told 'em
Don'cha, don'cha, don'cha wanna rock & roll
And they said no

We finally made it to a Broadway theatre
Whoa, the place was packed
Lo and behold we drew a disco crowd
Said they'd never never come back

I told 'em
Don'cha, don'cha, don'cha wanna rock & roll
And they said no

I told 'em
Don'cha, don'cha, don'cha wanna rock & roll
And they said no
