David Cassidy

Seat 22c Paris to Barcelona David Cassidy died last night We’re gonna sing a song for him I watched the Partridge Family when I was a kid Keith Partridge was cool And it was guys like him Who made me wanna play guitar Keith Partridge and K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton And Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath And Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin David Cassidy was so cool That I read his autobiography It’s called C'mon, Get Happy And I recommend it highly It’s a bout the troubles he had Being a young TV star Being controlled by the networks And being taken advantage of Being exploited and being ripped off By those who overworked him Coming home from tours broke And cancelling tours due to over exhaustion And of his battles with depression I will not reveal how he said that he overcame And I leave that to you As the book is a must read Buy that book tomorrow It’s one of my favorite autobiographies Lots of legendary musicians passing away lately Like the late great Malcom Young of AC/DC But for now we’re gonna sing a song By this great inspirational wonder And gave us years of television entertainment The first one we’re gonna do Is my childhood in front of the television Me and my sisters would gather around it It’s the theme song of the TV show The Partridge Family Here we go it’s called Come On Get Happy! And the one we’re gonna do after that Sung by my favorite rock singer His name was Bon Scott And he wasn’t just a regular Rock singer He was a blues singer He was a soul singer But he overdosed one day like so many other singers Like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, and Shannon Hoon The list goes on and on And there are more and more and more and more of ‘em But I’m not gonna go down a rabbit hole with that I’ve sung about the struggles of being an entertainer Yea, I’ve covered all that Gonna get on with what I was just talking about I’m gonna sing a David Cassidy shout out David Cassidy made us happy when we were little boys and girls So for David Cassidy right now everybody Make some fucking noise! And while we’re at it Don’t forget about Malcom Young Like a sledgehammer hit a nail Is how he strum his Gretsch guitar Malcom Young played guitar on the song Highway to Hell So for now everybody at the top of their lungs I wanna hear you fucking yell! Okay like I said A few times already We’re gonna play this song Come On Get Happy!
