What Gives |
| Paul & George & Ringo, just a fraction of the Fab Four |
| Some still survive from Dave Clark’s Five |
| Washed up on the Mersey Shore Jerry has a pacemaker |
| The hermit’s name is Herman |
| That old man’s Manfred Mann & |
| The Animals merely vermin |
| Hank Junior sang with Senior his cheatin heart was cold |
| And just a few years back |
| Natalie and Nat King Cole duetted and went gold |
| There’s a way to make it pay |
| Though they’ve flown the coup |
| John Denver, Stevie Ray, Vaughan, Buddy Holly |
| Ricky Nelson, Otis Redding in one super group |
| Bring me the bones of Brian Jones |
| And Joplin’s tinted glasses |
| Hendrix’s pick, Keith Moon’s drumstick |
| And a caftan of Mama Cass' |
| Rock and roll will never die, neither can her heroes |
| Just pick a figure with three digits |
| Then tack on about six zeros |
| The Beatles are forever, it’s like John never got shot |
| Here’s what gives, Elvis lives, what is in fact is not |
| Here’s what gives, Elvis lives, what is in fact is not |
