The Story of a Rock and Roll Band - Randy Newman

They were six fine English boys

Who knew each other in Birmingham

They bought a drum and guitar

Started a rock-roll band

And Johnny played little violin

And Bobby Joe played the big violin

The one that stands on the floor

They were all in the rock-roll band

Their first song sounded like this

Please get me a witness

Please get me a witness

Right off, they needed a name

Someone said, «How 'bout The Renegades?»

Johnny said, «Well I don’t know

I prefer E.L.O.»

I love their «Mr.

Blue Skies»

Almost my favorite is «Turn to Stone»

And how 'bout «Telephone Line»?

I love that E.L.O
