what gives
loudon wainwright iii
paul and george and ringo
just a fraction of the fab four
some still survive from dave clark's five
washed up on the mersey shore jerry has a pacemaker
the hermit's name is herman
that old man's manfred mann and
the animals merely vermin
hank junior sang with senior his cheatin' heart was cold
and just a few years back
natalie and nat king cole duetted and went gold
there's a way to make it pay
though they've flown the coup
otis redding in one super group
bring me the bones of brian jones
and joplin's tinted glasses
and a caftan of mama cass'
rock and roll will never die
just pick a figure with three digits
then tack on about six zeros
it's like john never got shot
