Back in the mind of a young teenager
Rock 'n' roll music was my life saver
I was thick as molasses
I was sad as can be
I was long, tall, short and going to end it
Locked-up in a cage with the bone of a chicken
You know? Cock-a-doodle-doo, I was strictly forbidden
Everybody laughing and a peeking and a poking
But I was too scared to move
I was too much heart broken
Three ugly sisters were the keepers of me
They were certified witches, Evil!, Nasty!
Now every day at around five o'clock
Yeah, A great big ol' giant would come, knockety knock
Ugh
Now this guy was mean and stinking of gin
But you watch what you sayin', and boy, best did what you did
So I shoved down the engine and I shoved down that motor
It was like, I was like trying to get by on nothin' but bread and water
I kill myself for a week everyday
Until March seventeenth when I went away
Went out to France
I've been up to Maine
I've been down to Mexico
Well I got married in Spain
Rock 'n' roll, ladies and gentlemen
That became my name
When I heard that beat, baby
You know everything changed
I'll shout it
I'll scream it
Stomp it and holler
Look out now people
I'm gon' do what I wanna
A-get down
Leave me alone so I can rock again
Leave me alone so I can rock again
Leave me alone so I can rock again
Leave me alone so I can rock again
Leave me alone so I can rock again
Leave me alone so I can rock again
Leave me alone so I can rock again
Leave me alone so I can rock again
I'm just an old man and I got me no friends
Leave me alone so I can rock again
Leave me alone so I can rock again
Leave me alone so I can rock again
I'm gonna start at the top and go right to the end, baby
Leave me alone so I can rock again
Ah-Let's do it
Yeah
Just let it roll
Ohh
I grew up with three witches and a giant
Cock-a-doodle-doo
I don't wanna go back
I don't wanna feel that way
Aahhhooohhhh!
Aaooowwweee!
Hell baby
Leave me alone so I can rock again
Yeah
Ahhhh
Yeah
Leave me alone so I can rock again
Leave me alone so I can rock again
Leave me alone so I can rock again
Leave me alone so I can rock again
Leave me alone so I can rock again
Leave me alone so I can rock again
Leave me alone so I can rock again
Leave me alone so I can rock again
