second verse

     All shook up and bent outta shape It was Johnny B Goode

   I'm wishing to live longer, aided by the supreme healing force of music
   It definetly overcomes all weakening aspects of the body

intro
      I'd have felt quite lost and distraught without those
     wonderful vinyl productions

bridge riff twice
     I'm convinced it's an addiction, too.  I feel just great again
     Thank you Geoffrey


fourth verse

     We could see the train coming, it was long overdue
     A tough act to follow, ain't too good in your shoes
     That's right  Tell me that's right
     Life went from stumbling to tumblin down
     Not a pretty picture when the body was found
     That night Tell me that's right

   Band was signing and playing a tune  love comes a tumblin down
   Tough act to follow ain't too good in your shoes
   See the train coming it was long overdue
   Johnny B. Goode, but it sounded great
   Long Tall Sally, it was no surprise
   Whole lotta shakin it was terrible news
   Not a pretty picture when the body was found
   Mama Mama Mama
