The boy would be a businessman

And he signs the bottom line

Em          G           D
Do what you can with my name

Better to save some for yourself

If that's allowed

The crowd will never know you

They'll turn you round and blow you up

Until you think you're someone else

Do what you can with my name

I'm staking my claim to fame"

He can turn your time to gold
G            Bm7             F#m7
You better make as much as you can my friend

And they need a young man

My Rock and roll man oh

Company man oh
A       Em        G          D
My Rock and roll man oh
A          Em          G       D
You can shuck and jive for me
A       Em         G           D
And I - yeah oh
