Crowd member: Blood Red Rose!
John: Well we're making a live record here, and that's not until the end of side three. Matter of fact, this is your big chance to get on the record right now. Help me out with the words on this one.
[Verse 1]
When I woke up this morning, things were looking bad
Seems like total silence was the only friend I had
A bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down and won
And it was twelve o'clock before I realized that I was having no fun
Ah, but fortunatеly, I have the key to еscape reality
[Chorus]
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
No, I'm just trying to have me some fun
Crowd member: Hi, Mom!
(laughter)
[Verse 2]
Well, last time I checked my bankroll, it was getting thin
Sometimes it seems like the bottom is the only place I've been
I chased a rainbow down a one-way street, dead end
And all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen
Ah, but fortunately, I have the key to escape reality
[Chorus]
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
No, I'm just trying to have me some fun
(cheering)
John: It's nothin'
(cheers)
John: It really is though
(laughter)
[Verse 3]
Well, I sat down in my closet with all my overalls
Trying to get away from all the ears inside my walls
I dreamed the police heard everything I thought, what then?
Well I went to court and the judge's name was Hoffman
Ah, but fortunately
Now this is your turn. Not too perfect, we want it to sound like a regular crowd
I have the key to escape reality
[Chorus]
Crowd:And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
No, I'm just trying to have me some fun
[Outro]
Well done
Son of a gun
Hot dog bun
Atilla the Hun
My sister is a nun
