Rock Around the Cock

from Rock n Roll Rooster by The Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

In the 50s and 60s we were screaming girls
Your only fans
Together we pushed the boundaries
Rock n Roll gave us a chance
Humping the mic stand by the 70s
Guitar slung below your waist
An improbable bulge in your leather pants
Thrust into my face

CHORUS
Rock around the cock, it’s a ticking time bomb
Spoilt white boys get what they want
Rock around the cock, it’s a ticking time bomb
Rock around the cock or chop it off “

Was I even legal tender
You spent me just the same
Boys in the crowd followed your lead
How could I feel safe
Rebel against your father’s crew cut
But reinforce his beliefs
Perm your hair long at my salon
Then ignore me til you need me

CHORUS

When we formed an all women band
Everyone said that’s cute
Male critics wrote us off
Bitch and slut and floozy
If the only place for your torpedo
Is between my thighs
I can stroke my strap on, strut and leer
Then chop it with a shiny knife
