#1.
Gather 'round, cats, and I'll tell you a story
about how to become an All American Boy.
Buy you a gittar and put it in tune..you'll be 
rockin' and rollin' soon.
Impressin' the girls, pickin' hot licks, and all 
that jazz.

#2.
I bought me a gittar a year ago..learned how to play 
in a day or so..and all around town it was well understood
that I was knockin' 'em out like Johnny . Goode.
Hot licks, showin' off, ah, number one.

#3.
Well , I'd practice all day and up into the night..my papa's 
hair was turnin' white..cause he didn't like rock'n'roll.
He said, "You can stay, boy, but that's gotta go."
He's a square, he just didn't dig me at all.

#4.
So, I took my gittar, picks and all, and bid farewell to my 
poor ole pa.
And I split for Memphis where they say, y'all..them swingin' 
cats are havin' a ball.
Sessions, hot licks and all, they dig me.

#5.
I was rockin' and boppin' and I's a gettin' the breaks.
The girls all said that I had what it takes.
When up stepped a man with a big cigar..he said, "Come here, 

cat..I'm gonnna make you a star.
I'll put you on Bandstand, buy ya a Cadillac, sign here, kid."

#6.
I signed my name and became a star, havin' a ball with my gittar.
Driving a big long Cadillac and fightin' the girls off ma back.
They just kept a'comin', screamin', yeah..they like it.

#7.
So, I'd pick my gittar with a great big grin and the money just 
kept on pourin' in.
But then one day my Uncle Sam, he said, (knock, knock, knock) 
"Here I am..Uncle Sam needs you, boy..I'm-a gonna cut your 

 hair off.
"Ah-take this rifle, kid..gimme that gittar," yeah.

A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
