"Rock and Roll" lyrics

I’ve got a story

that I want to tell

but you’d best listen closely

because I won’t tell it well

I went to a party

high on cocaine

I puked up that night

but I’ll do it again

they call this rock and roll

they call, yes they call this rock and roll

I’ve got a band

although I can’t play a note

I can’t sing in tune

I can’t read what I wrote

they call this rock and roll

they call, yes they call this rock and roll

I’ve got ears to hear it

I’ve got a nose to [smell]

I’ve got eyes to see

I’ve got lips to kiss so baby why don’t we

[and/or:

I’ve got eyes to see

I’ve got a nose to smell

I’ve legs to walk away

and a good mind to run

or:

I’ve got the sky above me

and the ground below

I’ve got people I love

and people I know]

I’ve got a thousand thoughts running through my head

I find most of them get left unsaid

I’ve got a lottery ticket I’m hoping I’ll win

and if nothing more I’ve got original sin

I went to a party

got drunk off my ass

I don’t remember that night

but I heard it was a blast

they call this rock and roll

they call, yes they call this rock and roll

so go on and call this rock and roll

and if that’s all it is then  I guess all I have is rock and roll.
