I had a dream when I started out Get out of school and buy a guitar I had a band with a thousand names And people said that I was star I gotta get up on the stage And get myself on the hit parade 'Cause I'm playing in a rock and roll band And it's the only thing that I understand Yes, I'm playing in a rock and roll band And now I've got someone to give me a hand 'Cause I'm playing in a rock, playing in a rock Play in a rock and roll band The band rehearsed every day and night And everything was coming on strong Played Anaheim when the time was right And all I had to play was this song And I could feel electricity The lights so bright I could hardly see 'Cause I'm playing in a rock and roll band And it's the only thing that I understand Yes, I'm playing in a rock and roll band And now I've got someone to give me a hand 'Cause I'm playing in a rock, playing in a rock Play in a rock and roll band It started out so long ago A kid in school into rock and roll You couldn't get it out of your head You heard a voice and all it said was .. It's gonna be alright into the late, late night You wanna rock and roll all night Playing in a rock and roll band And it's the only thing that I understand Yes, I'm playing in a rock and roll band And now I've got someone to give me a hand 'Cause I'm playing in a rock, playing in a rock Play in a rock and roll band Play in a rock and roll band Play in a rock and roll band
