Lyrics The Story of a Rock and Roll Band - Randy Newman

The Story of a Rock and Roll Band

They were six fine English boys
Who knew each other in Birmingham
They bought a drum and guitar
Started a rock-roll band
And Johnny played little violin
And Bobby Joe played the big violin
The one that stands on the floor
They were all in the rock-roll band
Their first song sounded like this
Please get me a witness
Please get me a witness
Right off, they needed a name
Someone said, «How 'bout The Renegades?»
Johnny said, «Well I don’t know
I prefer E.L.O.»
I love their «Mr.
Blue Skies»
Almost my favorite is «Turn to Stone»
And how 'bout «Telephone Line»?
I love that E.L.O
