All American Boy - Bobby Bare[00:00:00]
Gather round cats and I'll tell you a story[00:00:07]
'Bout how to become an all American boy[00:00:10]
Buy you a guitar and put it in tune[00:00:13]
You'll be a rockin' and a rollin' soon[00:00:16]
Impressin' the girls pickin' hot licks and all that jazz [00:00:20]
Ah I bought me a guitar a year ago[00:00:28]
Learned how to play in a day or so[00:00:32]
And all around town it was well understood[00:00:35]
That I was knockin' 'em out like Johnny B Goode[00:00:38]
Hot licks showin' off ah number one [00:00:42]
Yeah I practiced all day and up into the night[00:00:50]
My papa's hair was turnin' white[00:00:54]
'Cause he didn't like rock'n roll[00:00:57]
He said ''You can stay boy but that's gotta go ''[00:01:00]
He's a square he just didn't dig me at all [00:01:05]
So I took my guitar picks and all[00:01:13]
Bid farewell to my poor ol' pa[00:01:16]
Split for Memphis where they say y'all[00:01:20]
Them swingin' cats are havin' a ball[00:01:22]
Sessions hot licks and all they dig me [00:01:27]
I was rockin' and a boppin' and I was gettin' the breaks[00:01:36]
The girls all said that I have what it takes[00:01:39]
When up stepped a man with big cigar[00:01:42]
He said ''Come here cat I'm gonna make you a star [00:01:45]
I'll put you on bandstand buy you a Cadillac sign here kid ''[00:01:50]
I signed my name and became a star havin' a ball with my guitar[00:01:58]
Drivin' a big long Cadillac and fightin' the girls off of my back[00:02:05]
They just kept a comin' a screamin' yeah they liked it [00:02:12]
So I picked my guitar with a great big grin[00:02:21]
And the money just kept on pourin' in[00:02:24]
But then one day my Uncle Sam he said (bang bang) ''Here I am [00:02:28]
Uncle Sam needs you boy I'm a gonna cut your hair off [00:02:35]
Ah take this rifle kid give me that guitar yeah ''[00:02:44]
