[00:06.41]And Gather around cats
[00:07.82]I'll tell you a story
[00:09.41]About how to become an All American Boy
[00:13.15]Buy you a guitar and put it in tune
[00:16.60]You'll be rockin' and rollin' soon
[00:19.95]Impressin' the girls pickin' hot licks
[00:25.11]All that jazz
[00:28.53]I bought me a guitar a year ago
[00:32.29]Learned how to play in a day or so
[00:35.53]All around town it was well understood
[00:38.16]That I was knockin' them
[00:39.38]Out like Johnny B Goode
[00:42.54]Hot licks showin' off ah number one
[00:51.06]I'd practice all day
[00:52.84]And up into the night
[00:54.83]My papa's hair was turnin' white
[00:58.05]He didn't like rock 'n' roll
[01:00.54]He said stay Boy
[01:02.41]But that's gotta go
[01:05.34]He's a square just didn't dig me at all
[01:13.59]So I took my guitar picks and all
[01:17.04]Bid farewell to my poor ole pa
[01:20.21]I split for Memphis where they say all
[01:23.35]Them swingin' cats are havin' a ball
[01:27.38]Sessions hot licks and all they dig me
[01:35.90]I was rockin' and boppin'
[01:37.36]And It's a gettin' the breaks
[01:39.41]The girls all said that I had what it takes
[01:42.57]When up stepped a man with a big cigar
[01:45.42]He said come here
[01:46.69]Cat I'm gonnna make you a star
[01:49.80]I'll put you on Bandstand
[01:52.76]Buy ya a Cadillac sign here kid
[01:58.43]I signed my name and became a star
[02:02.14]Havin' a ball with my guitar
[02:05.25]Driving a big long Cadillac
[02:08.37]Fightin' the girls off ma back
[02:12.32]They just kept a comin'
[02:15.40]Screamin' yeah they like it
[02:20.57]So I'd pick my guitar with a great big grin
[02:23.93]And the money just kept on pourin' in
[02:27.68]Then one day my Uncle Sam
[02:30.17]He said Here I am
[02:34.85]"Uncle Sam needs you boy
[02:38.33]I'm a gonna cut your hair
