     All shook up and bent outta shape It was Johnny B Goode

   I'm wishing to live longer, aided by the supreme healing force of music 
   It definetly overcomes all weakening aspects of the body 
 
intro 
      I'd have felt quite lost and distraught without those 
     wonderful vinyl productions 
 
bridge riff twice 
     I'm convinced it's an addiction, too.  I feel just great again 
     Thank you Geoffrey 
 
 
fourth verse 
 
     We could see the train coming, it was long overdue 
     A tough act to follow, ain't too good in your shoes 
     That's right  Tell me that's right 
     Life went from stumbling to tumblin down 
     Not a pretty picture when the body was found 
     That night Tell me that's right

   Band was signing and playing a tune  love comes a tumblin down 
   Tough act to follow ain't too good in your shoes 
   See the train coming it was long overdue 
   Johnny B. Goode, but it sounded great 
   Long Tall Sally, it was no surprise 
   Whole lotta shakin it was terrible news 
   Not a pretty picture when the body was found 
   Mama Mama Mama
