No Surprize lyrics

Nineteen seventy-one

We all heard the starters gun

New York was such a pity

But at Max's Kansas City we won

We all shot the shit at the bar

A with Johnny O' Toole and his scar

And then ole' Clive Davis said

He's surely gonna make us a star

I'm gonna make you a star

Just the way you are

But with all his style

I could see in his eyes

That we is goin' on trial

And it was no surprize

The boys kept kickin'...

... As usual time would tell

But some bitch in the choir

Throw water on the fire a hell

She loved to show and tell

Lord she loved to tell

But with all our style

You could see in our eyes

That we is still on trial

And it was no surprize

No surprize

No surprize

No surprize

Midnight lady

Situation fetal

Vaccinate your ass wit'chor phonograph needle

I say looky here

Friend of mine

You scratch like you need calamine

Flamingo boots soles a creakin'

Still in love and Puerto Rican too

Ridin' on wheels of hell

Smokin' our axle grease

Oh the backstage is rockin'

And we're coppin' from the local police

That's right the local police

Or the juctice of peace

So what with all our style

You could see in our eyes

That we is still on trial

Baby it's no surprize

No surprize

No surprize

No surprize

Rock n' roll junkie whore

Got my foot inside the door

Knock knock... knock knock... knock

Nobody's keepin' score

Bad times go away

Come again some other day

Topaz and sazzafraz

Will keep the blues away

Candy store rock n' roll

Corporation jellyroll

Play the singles it ain't me

It's programmed insanity

You ASCAP if BMI

Could ever make a mountain fly

If Japanese can boil teas

Then where the fuck's my royalties... aar

Yak yak yak yak 'oow
