All American Boy

All American Boy - Bill Parsons/Parsons/Lunsfords

Gather 'round cats

And I'll tell you a story

About how to become an All American Boy

Buy you a gittar and put it in tune

You'll be rockin' and rollin' soon

Impressin' the girls

Pickin' hot licks

And all that jazz

I-I bought me a gittar a year ago

Learned how to play in a day or so

And all around town

It was well understood

That I was knockin' 'em out

Like Johnny B Goode

Hot licks showin'off

Ah number one

Well

I'd practice all day

And up into the night

My papa's hair was turnin' white

Cause he didn't like rock'n'roll

He said You can stay

Boy but that's gotta go

He's a square

He just didn't dig me at all

So I took my gittar

Picks and all

And bid farewell to my poor ole pa

And I split for Memphis where they say all

Them swingin' cats are havin' a ball

Sessions

Hot licks and all

They dig me

I was rockin' and boppin'and

I's a gettin' the breaks

The girls all said

That I had what it takes

When up stepped a man with a big cigar

He said come here cat

I'm gonnna make you a star

I'll put you on Bandstand

Buy ya a Cadillac

Sign here kid

I signed my name and became a star

Havin' a ball with my gittar

Driving a big long Cadillac

And fightin' the girls off ma back

They just kept a'comin' screamin'

Yeah-they like it

So I'd pick my gittar with a great big grin

And the money just kept on pourin' in

But then one day my Uncle Sam

He said

Here I am

Uncle Sam needs you boy

I'm-a gonna cut your hair

Ah-Take this rifle kid

Gimme that gittar yeah
