I been Gsinging rock most Call my life, I got Dthree little boys and a Dsweet young wifeD _
I Gfeed 'em good 'cause I Cmake good bread, D thank God for the Dman it s_aidD
R_ock 'n' Groll's the answer Gson, if you can't Gbeat 'em, join em C
Get your Dguitar, get your Ddrum, get your set of Diron clad ear Ddrums
A Dthousand watt coDlumn amp, you're in Gbusiness s_onG _
G _ Got myG first Cadillac in C'54, sinceD then I've had aboutD five _moreD _
MerGcedes Benz and a CPorsche or two, the Dother day I was thinking Dthis wouldn't d_oD
'C_ause the Gprice of a CadilClac times two, comes Dout to the cost of a DRolls Royce new
But Gsoon the Cadillac's Cobselete and the DRolls Royce is still Drunning sweetD _
GFigure on f_our Cyears inst_ead of two, beDfore you got to buy Dsomething new
Put an Gextra fifteen Chundred in, to Dpay for the b_ar and air conDditioning _ D _
G You don't _need noG chauf_feurC _ C _, get yourD barten_der andD ride ba_byG _ G _
G _ So the Gother day I drove Cdown from my hill, went Dto the bank to get Dme some bills
And Gboots and Levis Cworn in tan, I Dambled into the DRolls Royce standD _
The Gshowroom floor was Cquiet that day, I Dwalked up to a Dsilver gray
GSilver Cloud all Csleek and long, Dstanding ther aloof and Dso aloneD _
Such a Gbeautiful sight I Cnever did see, it Dsparkled and shone like a DChristmas treeD _
It was Greally something Cto admire, I Dmoved in close and I Dkicked a t_ireG _ G _
Had to Gget some atCtention, D I got s_ome D _ G quick_lyG _ G _ G
W_ell I was Gcombing my hair down Cin the chrome, Dwhen up steps a man in a DherringboneD _
Said good Gmorning s_on, may I Chelp you, I said Dyes sir I'd like to Dtest drive this Dnew _
SilDver Cloud _ G Two _ G
W_ell Ghe jumped b_ack a Cpace or s_o and Dlooked me o_ver from my Dhead to my t_oe
His Dface it f_ormed inCto a s_neer, he Dsaid s_orry Dkid the c_ar stays Dhere _
G _ Don'tG you kick _thoseC tires _ C _ don't Dopen the _doors,D don't _touch theD chrome_ D _
D You're _getting daDndruff on the _radiDator_ G _ G _ G _
Well I Ggot put on for an Chour or more, they Dushered me in the Dbossman's door
It Gwasn't l_ong til CI come o_ut, the Dbossman f_ollowed up Dwith a s_houtD _
Open the Gdoor t_here, look aClive _ and take Dthis b_oy for a Dtest drive _ D _
In the Gsilver g_ray GSilver C_loud C _ the Clittle cat's l_oaded D _ got lumps Din his c_lothes
G _ You gottaG look for _thoseG _ G how do _you think IC got where _I am tDoday, _hmm?D _ D
N_ow I'm Gdriving al_ong old C _501, Dlistening t_o them Dbig wheels h_um
GGot to get h_ome beCfore it's f_ive, to Dtake my w_ife and Dkids for a d_riveD _ D _ G _ G _
Now the Gmoral i_s, the Cpart that's b_est, never Djudge a m_an by the Dway he's d_ressedD _
Don't Gbrush him o_ff or Ctreat him w_rong, he Dmay be the s_inger of Drock songs _ D _
Don't Gyou forget i_t,G _ C _ what's that Cpounding n_oise, C _ D _ what's burDning _ D
W_ell the Gtemperature's u_p and the Coil is d_own, Dtermites r_unning aDround and ar_ound
On my Gdashb_oard, G _ G _ spot on my Cwinds_hield,C _ D _ D _ trade in Dtime _ D _ G _ G G !
