HEY! DOWN IN JOES GARAGE WE DIDN'T HAVE NO DOPE OR LSD BUT A COUPLA QUARTSA BEER WOULD FIX IT SO THE INTONATION WOULD NOT OFFEND YER EAR AND THE SAME OLD CHORDS GOING OVER AND OVER BECAME A SYMPHONY WE WOULD PLAY IT AGAIN N AGAIN AND AGAIN CAUSE IT SOUNDED GOOD TO ME ONE MORE TIME WE COULD JAM IN JOE'S GARAGE HIS MAMA WAS SCREAMING "TURN IT DOWN" WE WAS PLAYING THE SAME OLD SONG IN THE AFTERNOON AND SOMETIMES WE WOULD PLAY IT ALL NIGHT LONG IT WAS ALL WE KNOW AND EASY TOO SO WE WOULDN'T GET IT WRONG EVEN IF YOU PLAYED IT ON THE SAXOPHONE WE THOUGHT WE WAS PRETTY GOOD WE TALKED ABOUT KEEPING THE BAND TOGETHER AND WE FIGURED THAT WE SHOULD CAUSE ABOUT THIS TIME WE WAS GETTING THE EYE FROM THE GIRLS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THEY'D ALL COME OVER AND DANCE AROUND LIKE...
