Lyrics:

[all Spoken By Jim Steinman]

i Remember Everything!
i Remember Every Little Thing As If It Happened Only Yesterday.
i Was Barely Seventeen And I Once Killed A Boy With A Fender Guitar
i Don't Remember If It Was A Telecaster Or A Stratocaster,
but I Do Remember That It Had A Heart Of Chrome And A Voice Like A Horny Angel!
i Don't Remember If It Was A Telecaster Or A Stratocaster,
but I Do Remember That It Wasn't At All Easy.
it Required The Perfect Combination Of The Correct Power Chords,
and The Precise Angle From Which To Strike.
the Guitar Bled For A Week Afterward And The Blood Was - Ooh -
dark And Rich Like Wild Berries.
the Blood Of The Guitar Was Chuck Berry Red.
the Guitar Bled For About A Week Afterward But It Rung Out Beautifully,
and I Was Able To Play Notes That I Had Never Even Heard Before.
so, I Took My Guitar And I Smashed It Against The Wall,
i Smashed It Against The Floor,
i Smashed It Against The Body Of A Varsity Cheerleader,
i Smashed It Against The Hood Of A Car,
i Smashed It Against A 1981 Harley Davidson.
the Harley Howled In Pain.
the Guitar Howled In Heat.
and I Ran Up The Stairs To My Parents' Bedroom.
mommy And Daddy Were Sleeping In The Moonlight.
slowly I Opened The Door, Creeping In The Shadows,
right Up To The Foot Of Their Bed.
i Raised The Guitar High Above My Head,
and Just As I Was About To Bring The Guitar Crashing Down Upon The Centre Of The Bed,
my Father Woke Up Screaming
'stop! Wait A Minute! Stop It Boy! What Do You Think You're Doing
that's No Way To Treat An Expensive Musical Instrument!'
and I Said 'god Dammit Daddy! You Know I Love You,
but You've Got A Hell Of A Lot To Learn About Rock And Roll!'
