Looking hard for a drive in, searching for a corner cafe, where the hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day,
All I want for Christmas is a rock n roll electric guitar...
It's gotta be rock and roll music, if you wanna dance with me.
Could you imagine the way I felt, I couldn't unfasten her safety belt. All the way home I held a grudge, for the safety belt that wouldn't budge.
A contract is an ask game, and if it asks for an hour, and I submit to an hour, then it's an hour. When I look at a contract, I look at the obligation - where, when, how long, the compensation. If I agree to it, that's the way it is. I have an obligation. They have an obligation.
Maybellene, why can't you be true?
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, won't you play with my ding-a-ling.
They're drinkin' home brew from a wooden cup. The folks were dancin' there got all shook up.
A song is a song. But there are some songs, ah, some songs are the greatest. The Beatles song Yesterday. Listen to the lyrics.

Rock 'n' roll accepted me and paid me, even though I loved the big bands... I went that way because I wanted a home of my own. I had a family. I had to raise them. Let's don't leave out the economics. No way.
Rock's so good to me. Rock is my child and my grandfather.
