Lyrics:

The following is a true story

Only the names have been changed

To protect the guilty -



Well I left my job in my home town

And I headed for the smoke

Got a rock 'n' roll band and a fast right hand

Gonna get to the top

Nothing's gonna stop us, no nothing



So if you've got the money, we've got the sound

You put it up and we'll put it down

If you got the dollar, we got the song

Just wanna boogie woogie all night long

Yeh boogie



I got holes in my shoes

I got holes in my teeth

I got holes in my socks

I can't get no sleep

I'm trying to make a million



And I got patches on the patches

On my old blue jeans

Well they used to be blue

When they used to be new

When they used to be clean



But I've got a Momma whose a hummer [and I've got a mama, whose a hummer]

Whose keeping me alive [[just] keepin' me alive]

While I'm in the band doing drinking with the boys [while I'm doin' drinkin

She's working 9 to 5 with the boys]

[She] knows her place that woman



Just you wait -

One of these days see me driving round town

In my rock 'n' Rolls Royce with the sun roof down

My bottle of booze

No summer time blues

Shouting out, "Look at me"

In my rock 'n' roll voice



Ain't no fun waiting round to be a millionaire

repeat



"Hey hello Howard, how you doin', my next door neighbour?"

"Oh yea... Get your fuckin' jumbo jet out of my airport"
