| Come on everybody, let’s go way back in time
|
| Let me introduce you to a friend of mine
|
| He couldn’t dance, he couldn’t sing
|
| But that boy would take a shot at anything
|
| He wrestled alligators with your man Dundee
|
| Well, he even threw a punch at Muhammad Ali
|
| (I've got a photograph to prove it)
|
| And tattooed on his butt was «I just wanna rock»
|
| I just wanna rock
|
| Jersey, St. Louis, then out to L. A
|
| Had to take a look at how the big boys play
|
| He gave his heart, he gave his soul
|
| And he spend a lotta money on rock and roll
|
| He grooved with the Doobies and he smoked a few
|
| If you had a sore back, well he’d fix that too
|
| And every mornin' when he got out of bed
|
| He’d walk up to the mirror, start shaking his head
|
| I could be digging drains but instead I’m just gonna rock
|
| Just gonna rock
|
| (Eddie wants to rock, Eddie wants to roll, come on Eddie!)
|
| Just gonna rock, just gonna rock
|
| It wasn’t all crazy, wasn’t all just fun
|
| Eddie took care of business when it had to be done
|
| He saved a few lives coming down the line
|
| And I’m sure real happy, one of them was mine
|
| I haven’t seen Eddie
|
| Been a long, long time
|
| And I really miss that old friend of mine
|
| But you can bet your bottom dollar
|
| That wherever he went
|
| He’ll be kicking up trouble
|
| It was money well spent
|
| Showing all the new kids on the block
|
| Hey kids, you just gotta rock!
|
| Just gotta rock
|
| (Eddie wants to rock, Eddie wants to roll, come on Eddie!)
|
| Hey you, just gotta rock
|
| I wonder whatever happened to that guy
|
| Man, we had some great times
|
| Well, hope you like your song, Eddie
|
| Eddie wanna rock, Eddie wanna roll
|
| Eddie wants to rock, Eddie wants to roll
|
| Wanna know a secret?
|
| I’ve still got Eddie Rabbit |
