David Cassidy |
| Seat 22c |
| Paris to Barcelona |
| David Cassidy died last night |
| We’re gonna sing a song for him |
| I watched the Partridge Family when I was a kid |
| Keith Partridge was cool |
| And it was guys like him |
| Who made me wanna play guitar |
| Keith Partridge and K.K. |
| Downing and Glenn Tipton |
| And Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath |
| And Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin |
| David Cassidy was so cool |
| That I read his autobiography |
| It’s called C’mon, Get Happy |
| And I recommend it highly |
| It’s a bout the troubles he had |
| Being a young TV star |
| Being controlled by the networks |
| And being taken advantage of |
| Being exploited and being ripped off |
| By those who overworked him |
| Coming home from tours broke |
| And cancelling tours due to over exhaustion |
| And of his battles with depression |
| I will not reveal how he said that he overcame |
| And I leave that to you |
| As the book is a must read |
| Buy that book tomorrow |
| It’s one of my favorite autobiographies |
| Lots of legendary musicians passing away lately |
| Like the late great Malcom Young of AC/DC |
| But for now we’re gonna sing a song |
| By this great inspirational wonder |
| And gave us years of television entertainment |
| The first one we’re gonna do |
| Is my childhood in front of the television |
| Me and my sisters would gather around it |
| It’s the theme song of the TV show The Partridge Family |
| Here we go it’s called |
| Come On Get Happy! |
| And the one we’re gonna do after that |
| Sung by my favorite rock singer |
| His name was Bon Scott |
| And he wasn’t just a regular |
| Rock singer |
| He was a blues singer |
| He was a soul singer |
| But he overdosed one day like so many other singers |
| Like Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, and Shannon Hoon |
| The list goes on and on |
| And there are more and more and more and more of ‘em |
| But I’m not gonna go down a rabbit hole with that |
| I’ve sung about the struggles of being an entertainer |
| Yea, I’ve covered all that |
| Gonna get on with what I was just talking about |
| I’m gonna sing a David Cassidy shout out |
| David Cassidy made us happy when we were little boys and girls |
| So for David Cassidy right now everybody |
| Make some fucking noise! |
| And while we’re at it |
| Don’t forget about Malcom Young |
| Like a sledgehammer hit a nail |
| Is how he strum his Gretsch guitar |
| Malcom Young played guitar on the song Highway to Hell |
| So for now everybody at the top of their lungs |
| I wanna hear you fucking yell! |
| Okay like I said |
| A few times already |
| We’re gonna play this song |
| Come On Get Happy! |
| I love you David Cassidy |
| Thank you for all the happiness you brought me when I was a kid |
| Rest in peace David Cassidy |
| Rest in peace my young hero David Cassidy |
| When I was a kid I had shoulder length long hair |
| Parted in the middle and feathered, like David Cassidy |
| I wore clogs and bell bottom jeans just like David Cassidy |
| I had polyester shirts |
| Unbuttoned three buttons down, like David Cassidy |
| So anyhow |
| Like I’ve already said |
| A bunch of times |
| We’re gonna play this song right now |
| It’s called |
| Come On Get Happy! |
