He had a Martin I had a Fender We were thirteen years of age Out back in the tool shed We were searching for a sound Every day all through the summer We'd rock 'n roll 'n rage All the neighbors kept complaining But it never slowed us down We sang three verses of Dixie Can't Get No Satisfaction Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35 Try A Little Tenderness A Whiter Shade Of Pale Turn! Turn! Turn! For What It's Worth And Long Black Veil We moved out to California Shooting for the stars The biggest thing since Elvis Nothing could go wrong But they took us for all our money And everything else we owned So we got ourselves some whiskey And we drank it all night long We sang three verses of Dixie Can't Get No Satisfaction Rainy Day Women And A Bad Moon On The Rise Try A Little Tenderness A Whiter Shade Of Pale Turn!

Turn! Turn! For What It's Worth And Long Black Veil
