The crowd will never know you

Until you think you're someone else

I'm staking my claim to fame"

He can turn your time to gold

You better make as much as you can my friend

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
