| Well it was new years eve I was fourteen at the time
|
| I was celebration 4 am with them hoodlum friends of mine
|
| I heard a boy named Elvis Presley singing «that all right, mama»
|
| on the radio and it turned me on
|
| I been hooked on music, hooked on music from that moment on, heh heh heh
|
| All my friends thought I had one brick less than a load
|
| 'Cause I’d stop the car and I jump out and start dancing in the road
|
| When I heard Jerry Lee Lewis singing «whole lot of shaking going on»
|
| and it turned me on
|
| I been hooked on music, hooked on music from that moment on, heh heh heh
|
| I’m stealing fancy hubcaps off them cowboys' pickup trucks
|
| Fender skirts and mud flaps anything to make a buck
|
| I’ll sell 'em right back to 'em out behind the rodeo
|
| Just to make a little money to take my little honey to a rock and roll show
|
| Well I hung around that skating rink where Buddy Holly played
|
| I could not believe one man could have such fun and still get paid
|
| When I heard the local DJ playing, that’ll be the day, it turned me on,
|
| said turned me on
|
| I been hooked on music, hooked on music from that moment on, heh heh heh
|
| All give me some
|
| Well, I finally got some tickets to see Elvis live and hot
|
| My girl friend almost jumped my bones going back to the parking lot
|
| I knew that it was not my great physique, good looks and charm
|
| That left that Texas teenybopper’s nailprints in my arm
|
| So I bought myself a guitar and I wrote me a lady’s song
|
| But I’d change the name to fit my latest flame and that sucker never came out
|
| wrong
|
| I’d sit back and sing it soft and low, watch 'em as it slowly turned them on,
|
| I’d turn 'em on
|
| I been hooked on music, hooked on music from that moment on, heh heh heh
|
| Do de de, de de de, de de de, hooked on music, hooked on music
|
| I been hooked on music, hooked on music from that moment on |
