Little Pig |
| Gather 'round, cats, and I’ll tell you a story |
| About how to become an All American Boy |
| Buy you a gittar and put it in tune |
| You’ll be rockin' and rollin' soon |
| Impressin' the girls, pickin' hot licks, and all that jazz |
| I-I bought me a gittar a year ago |
| Learned how to play in a day or so |
| And all around town it was well understood |
| That I was knockin' 'em out like Johnny B. Goode |
| Hot licks, showin' off, ah number one |
| Well, I 'd practice all day and up into the night |
| My papa’s hair was turnin' white |
| Cause he didn’t like rock’n’roll |
| He said «You can stay, boy, but that’s gotta go.» |
| He’s a square, he just didn’t dig me at all |
| So I took my gittar, picks and all |
| And bid farewell to my poor ole pa |
| And I split for Memphis where they say all |
| Them swingin' cats are havin' a ball |
| Sessions, hot licks and all, they dig me |
| I was rockin' and boppin' and I’s a gettin' the breaks |
| The girls all said that I had what it takes |
| When up stepped a man with a big cigar |
| He said «come here, cat--I'm gonnna make you a star.» |
| «I'll put you on Bandstand, buy ya a Cadillac, sign here, kid.» |
| I signed my name and became a star |
| Havin' a ball with my gittar |
| Driving a big long Cadillac and fightin' the girls off ma back |
| They just kept a’comin', screamin', yeah-they like it |
| So I’d pick my gittar with a great big grin |
| And the money just kept on pourin' in |
| But then one day my Uncle Sam |
| He said (sound of 3 footsteps) «Here I am» |
| «Uncle Sam needs you, boy |
| I’m-a gonna cut your hair |
| Ah-Take this rifle, kid |
| Gimme that gittar» yeah |
