The Death of Rock & Roll
Verse 1
So much has been said
About the death of Rock & Roll
I don’t think it died at all
It simply got too old
CHORUS
I still like the Rolling Stones
And I like the Doors
We all like the Grateful Dead
Who could ask for more
Verse 2
John and George are gone
So is Janis J.
I remember Jimi H.
I loved to hear him play
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL

Verse 3
Walk along the ruins
In the old part of Rome
And you will see
What Rock & Roll’s become
CHORUS
Michael Jackson 1958-2009
Verse 1
He was a great performer
He lived under the lights
We loved to watch him dance
Night-after-night
CHORUS
He filled his veins with poison
And couldn’t rest at night
He liked to sleep with children
And thought that it was right
Verse 2
He was a major star
His light was very bright
Yes, he was a Thriller
Night-after-night
CHORUS

His end was very sad
I guess I will miss him
My favorite song is Bad

Amy’s Eyes
Verse 1
I know you’ve seen the Taj Mahal

Bright and full of light

And watched a falling star
You’ve stood among the Pyramids
And smoked a fine cigar

A Player from Greeley
Verse 1
I knew Todd “Hammond” Nealy
A player from Greeley
He owned a trailer
Talked like a sailor
Played the organ in a rock ‘n roll band
And thought of himself as the man
Yea, he thought of himself as the man
CHORUS 1
Oh he loved the ladies
They really drove him crazy
Oh he loved the ladies
He was a little shady
He was the man
Verse 2
He always had money
And thought he was funny
He smoked dope
It gave him hope
He played the organ in a rock ‘n roll band
And thought of himself as the man
Yea, he thought of himself as the man
CHORUS 2
Oh he loved the ladies
His mind was always hazy
Oh he loved the ladies
He seemed a little lazy
He was the man

We met a woman
While visiting Marais
She was mysterious
Older, I would say

Very much at ease
She said she made a movie
Back in sixty three
