No Suprize

Ninteen seventy-one

we all heard the starters gun

New york was such a pity

but at Max's Kansas city we won



we all shot the shit at the bar

with johnny o'toole and his scar

and then old clive davis said

he's surly gonna make us a star

just the way you are



but with all his style

i could see it in his eyes

we were goin on trial



It was no surprize

the boys kept kicking ass

as usual time would tell

but some bitch in the choir

threw some water on the fires of hell

she loved to show and tell

lord she loved to tell



but with all our style

you could se it in our eyes

that we is still on trial



and it was no surprise

no surprise

no surprise

no surprise



midnight lady

situation fetal

vaccinate your ass

with a phonograph needle



i say

look it here

friend of mine

scratch like you need calomine

flamingo boots

soles a creakin

stil in love with a puerto rican too



ridin on the wheels of hell

smokin in our axle grease

oh the backstage is rockin

and we were coppin from the local police

thats right the local police

or the justice of the peace



but with all our style

you could see it in our eyes

that we is still on trial



baby its no surprise

no surprise

no surprise

no surprise



rock and roll

junckie whore

got my foot inside the door

Knock knock knock knock knock

nobodies keepin score

go away

come again some other day

topaz and sazzafrazz

will keep the blues away



candy store

rock and roll

corporation jellyroll
