[Intro]
We're only getting started, London, come on
Show us how to move
Alright, check it out
[Verse 1]
T-bone Billy just a-singin' the blues
He caught his lady with another man
Lit up a smoke and did some talkin' with the back of his hand, smack
She started shakin', started losin' her mind
But he was kicking back and playin' it cool
Signed her walkin' papers, took the 5:15 to Kalamazoo
Alright
[Pre-Chorus]
Sing for your supper
Nobody rides for free
Eat heart out, send it C-O-D, yeah
[Chorus]
One, two, baby, what you do?
Three, four, let me show you the door
You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of me
Five, six, take your last licks
Sevеn, eight, I'm gonna give it to you straight
You're bеtter off dead than a-makin' a mess of me
[Verse 2]
Now Billy-boy's out havin' a ball
He's playin' fiddle at the local bar
Dark shades, cool kicks, he's Hollywood Boulevard
Slick Daddy with his fat cigar
He's sayin', "Sign upon the dotted line"
He shook his head and said, "All I need's the fiddle of mine, that's all"
[Pre-Chorus]
Sing for your supper
Nobody rides for free
Take your big time I'll take care of m-m-me, m-m-me, yeah, come on
[Chorus]
One, two, baby, what you do?
Let me show you the door
You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of me
Five, six, take your last licks
Seven, eight, I'm gonna give it to you straight
You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of me
[Bridge]
Trouble keeps knockin'
But London keeps rockin'
Show us how to rock 'n' roll, London, come on, oh
Hey, hey, hey, hey
[?]
[Guitar Solo]
Alright
[Pre-Chorus]
Sing for your supper
Nobody rides for free
Take your big time, I'll take care of m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, yeah
[Chorus]
One, two, baby, what you do?
Three, four, let me show you the door
You're better off dead than (A-makin' a mess of me)
Fuckin' right
Five, six, take your last licks
Seven, eight, I'm gonna give it to you straight
You're better off dead than (A-makin' a mess of me)
Yeah
One, two, baby, what you do? Woah
You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of me
Five, six, take your last licks
You're better off dead than a-makin' a mess of, mess of, mess of me, yeah
[Outro]
You a mess of me, London, it will be the best mess you ever made, baby
Alright
So
We quite recently released a new album
Oh, London, London, London, you can do so much better, baby
We just recently released a new album, it's called The Gang's All Here
That's more like it
And we're gonna play the title track off that album right here, right now in London, baby
