All American Boy - The Platters[00:00:00]

Gather round cats and I'll tell you a story[00:00:06]

About how to become an all American boy[00:00:09]

Buy you a guitar and put it in tune[00:00:12]

You'll be a rocking and a rolling soon[00:00:16]

Impressing the girls picking hot licks and all that jazz[00:00:19]

Ah, I bought me a guitar a year ago[00:00:27]

Learned how to play in a day or so[00:00:31]

And all around town it was well understood[00:00:34]

That I was knocking them out like Johnny B. Goode[00:00:37]

Hot licks showing off, ah, number one.[00:00:41]

Yeah, I practiced all day and up into the night[00:00:49]

My papa's hair was turning white[00:00:53]

'Cause he didn't like rocking roll[00:00:56]

He said, 'You can stay boy but that's gotta go.'[00:00:59]

He's a square[00:01:04]

He just didn't dig me at all.[00:01:07]

So I took my guitar picks and all[00:01:11]

Bid farewell to my poor ol' pa[00:01:15]

Split for Memphis where they say y'all[00:01:18]

Them swinging cats are having a ball[00:01:21]

Sessions hot licks and all, they dig me.[00:01:25]

I was rocking and a bopping and I was getting the breaks[00:01:34]

The girls all said that I have what it takes[00:01:37]

When up stepped a man with big cigar[00:01:41]

He said, 'Come here cat, I'm gonna make you a star.[00:01:43]

I'll put you on bandstand, [00:01:48]

Buy you a Cadillac, sign here kid.'[00:01:51]

I signed my name and became a star[00:01:57]

Having a ball with my guitar[00:02:00]

Driving a big long Cadillac and [00:02:04]

Fighting the girls off of my back[00:02:07]

They just kept a coming, a screaming, yeah they liked it.[00:02:10]

So I picked my guitar with a great big grin[00:02:19]

And the money just kept on pouring in[00:02:22]

But then one day my Uncle Sam he said[00:02:26]

'Here I am.[00:02:31]

Uncle Sam needs you boy,[00:02:33]

I'm a gonna cut your hair off.[00:02:37]

Ah, take this rifle kid, give me that guitar, yeah...'[00:02:42]
