1971, we all heard the starter gun New York is such a pity But at Max's Kansas City we won We all shot shit in the bar With Johnny O' Toole and his scar And then old Clive Davis said He's surely gonna make us a star Just the way But with all his style I could see in his eyes Thet we is goin' on trial It was no surprise The boys kept kickin' ass As usual time would tell But some bitch in the choir Threw water on the fires of hell She loved to shove and tell Lord, she loved to tell But with all our style You could see in our eyes That we is still on trial And it was no surprise No surprise No surprise No surprise Midnight lady Situation fetal vaccinate yo ass with yo phonograph needle I say look it here A friend of mine Scratch like you need calomine Flamingo boots, soles a creakin' Still in love and Puerto Rican too Ridin' on the wheels of hell Smokin' in our axle grease The backstage is rockin' And we're copping from the local polica That's right, the local police Or the juctice of peace But with all our style You could see in our eyes That we is still on trial Baby, it's no surprise No surprise No surprise No surprise Rock n' roll, junkie whore Got my foot inside the door Knock knock, knock kncok, knock Nobody's keepin' score Bad time go away Come again some other day Topaz and sazzafraz Will keep the blues away Candy store, rock n' roll Corporation jelly roll Play the singles, it ain't me It's programmed insanity You Ascap, if BMI Could ever make a mountain fly If Japanese can boil teas The where the fuck's my royalties |

Seems like the other day My baby went away She went away, 'cross the sea It's been two years or so Since I saw my baby go And then this letter came from me It said that we was through She found somebody new Oh, let me think, let me think What should I do (Chorus) Oh, no Oh, no Oh, no no no no no (Remember), Walking In The Sand (Remember), walking hand in hand (Remember), the night was so exciting (Remember), her smile was so inviting (Remember), the she touched me cheek (Remember), with her fingertips (Remember), softly Softly we met with a kiss Whatever happened to The gal that I once knew The girl that said, she'd been true Oh, whatever happened to The night I gave it to you What did I do with the night Oh... (Chorus) Whatever happened to That girl that I once knew That girl that said, she was true Whatever happened to That night I gave it to you What would you do with the night |
