all in the name of rock 'n' roll

Singer:rod stewart

went downtown on the two fourtynine

play'n for recognition of the new york town. see

me and the boys got a rock 'n' roll band;

they were so damn good

gonna lift up the man. well

we got ups

we got downs

we got just so high till the sun goes down. got the ego

can be abused;

i got my two-toned shoes

and i can sing the blues. look out

kids

it's the f b i;

we got a problem

you keep me high. put on your clothes

take the smile off your face

and put your money where your mouth is or get out this place. new york town is a meanass town

we got a thousand bands singin' underground. way down in new orleans it's the same old thing;

emotion'l music a merry old thing. old king soul

he final'y gave us a jolt;

he played the vibes till nine and read from ten to four. he played upside down

he played inside out;

then a uniform band he was thrown into jail. look out

kids

it's the f b i;

we got a problem

you keep me high. put on your clothes

take the smile off your face

and put your money where your mouth is or get out this place. gettin' hungry i know little woman

can't get a smell 'cause my nose is blocked. i'm so high

i can't believe it;

hotel dogs are knockin' on my door. two night of singin' nearly out on the end

left the two parts red

oh what a square. as soon as the man

there's no sweeter song

listen

mc cartney

we're the band on the run. look out

kids

it's the f b i;

we got a problem

you keep me high. put on your clothes

take the smile off your face

and put your money where your mouth is or get out this place. oh yeah
