The best bad lyrics of all time, without question, is "Rock'N'Roll Dreams'll Come Through" by The Gas Station Dogs featuring Barry Dworkin.
"Rock‘n’Roll Dreams’ll Come Through"
Roddy’s daddy Denny saved every penny
to buy a guitar for Rod:
three jobs a day, he took all his pay,
and he went down to Don’s pawn shop.
Don said Denny, “If you buy this guitar,
your son will be a rock’n’roll star.”
Roddy tried his best; he couldn’t pass the test,
but he knew that he would some day.
Roddy’s baby Betty, she’s got a baby
that she had with Rod’s friend Roge.
Sucking on a jelly donut at the deli,
Betty’s baby cries for Rod.
Denny called Betty said, “Be--[beep]
stay away from my son.”
Betty said, “Denny, Roge and I are finished,
and Rod is my number one.”
Betty’s dad Kenny talked to Betty’s mom Jenny
and said, “What can we do?”
Betty’s daddy Kenny, he called back Denny
and said that he and Rod are true.
Betty, too, knows that it’s true, that it’s gonna come true,
that rock‘n’roll dreams’ll come through,
that it will be true that rock‘n’roll dreams’ll come through
Listen everybody, rock‘n’roll dreams’ll come through!
The music is the master; can’t you hear it calling you?
The rock will bathe you; the roll could save you
if you’re one of the chosen few--
that the dream comes true that rock’n’roll dreams’ll come through.
(Next verse.)
Roddy’s brother Buddy, he’s got a buddy,
who works at the five and dime
whose uncle Ron runs a recording studio.
Roddy shows up with a six-string friend and a head full of tunes,
laid down some tracks, and the tape [right went?] rock n’ roll fire.
Rod took the tape to Radio Rob, the biggest DJ in the land.
Rob told Rod that it rocks; Rod told Rob get it on the air.
Record store men said, “I’ll take ten, no, fifty-five 45s.”
The very next night, the song hit the charts rated at number one.
It took a lot of work, blood, sweat, and tears,
and Roddy’s now a rock’n’roll star.
He’ll be the first to tell you
that rock’n’roll dreams’ll come through
Listen everybody, rock’n’roll dreams’ll come through!
The music is the master; can’t you hear it calling you?
The rock will bathe you; the roll should save you
if you’re one of the chosen few--
that the dream comes true that rock’n’roll dreams’ll come through. |
