All American Boy - The Platters

Gather round cats and I'll tell you a story

About how to become an all American boy

Buy you a guitar and put it in tune

You'll be a rocking and a rolling soon

Impressing the girls picking hot licks and all that jazz

Ah, I bought me a guitar a year ago

Learned how to play in a day or so

And all around town it was well understood

That I was knocking them out like Johnny B. Goode

Hot licks showing off, ah, number one.

Yeah, I practiced all day and up into the night

My papa's hair was turning white

'Cause he didn't like rocking 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 guitar picks and all

Bid farewell to my poor ol' pa

Split for Memphis where they say y'all

Them swinging cats are having a ball

Sessions hot licks and all, they dig me.

I was rocking and a bopping and I was getting the breaks

The girls all said that I have what it takes

When up stepped a man with big cigar

He said, 'Come here cat, I'm gonna make you a star.

I'll put you on bandstand,

Buy you a Cadillac, sign here kid.'

I signed my name and became a star

Having a ball with my guitar

Driving a big long Cadillac and

Fighting the girls off of my back

They just kept a coming, a screaming, yeah they liked it.

So I picked my guitar with a great big grin

And the money just kept on pouring 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 off.

Ah, take this rifle kid, give me that guitar, yeah...'
