Lyrics[edit | edit source]
What's that man holding in his hand?
He looks a lot like a guy I knew way back when
It’s silly willy with the Philly band
Could be, Oo-ee
Well see that man movin’ cross the stage?
It looks a lot like the one used by Jimmy Page
It’s like a relic from a different age
Could be, Oo-ee
Well there’s a rock show at the Concertgebouw
They’ve got long hair at the Madison Square
You’ve got Rock and Roll at the Hollywood Bowl
We’ll be there
Oh yeah
The lights go down
They’re back in town okay
Behind the stacks you glimpse an axe
Tension mounts, you score an ounce, ole!
Temperatures rise as you see the whites of their eyes
'Cause there’s a rock show at the Concertgebouw
They’ve got long hair at the Madison Square
They’ve got Rock and Roll at the Hollywood Bowl
We’ll be there
Oh yeah
In my green metal suit, I’m preparing to shoot up the city
And the ring at the end of my nose makes me look rather pretty
It’s a pity there’s nobody here to witness the end
Save for my dear old friend and confidante, Mademoiselle Kitty
Kitty?
Kitty!
Whats that man movin’ to and fro?
That decibel meter doesn’t seem to be reading low
But they were louder at the Rainbow
Could be, Oo-ee
'Cause there’s a rock show at the Concertgebouw
They’ve got long hair at the Madison Square
They’ve got rock and roll at the Hollywood Bowl
We’ll be there
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh yeah
'Cause there’s a rock show at the Concertgebouw
They’ve got long hair at the Madison Square
They’ve got rock and roll at the Hollywood Bowl
Ooh, you've got long hair
Oh yeah
Rock show
Yeah
