We used to walk downtown instead of taking the bus To save our money for records and donuts At Dischord and track where the future took shape In the days of wine and vinyl and tape But was only one king, we first found him on Queen He had to deal with us jokers, we were fourteen Rings, gold chains You would pay him in cash That's the power that rock and roll has If you wanna know why we don't play jazz Picture Switzer, lads He was The Wizard of Taz If you're listening to The Killer What was the line I had? Picture Switzer as The Wizard of Taz ♪ The Wizard moved down from Queen onto Argyle street Before the Herald came down and the rents got too steep Went from Market to Gottingen just trying to find a groove But the landlords kept The Wizard on the move If you wanna know why we don't play jazz Picture Switzer, lads He was The Wizard of Taz If you're listening to The Killer Come on, comrades Picture Switzer as The Wonderful Wizard of Taz ♪ Now Bob is gone but his memory lives on 10 thousand commandments 45 rpm There will never be a guy like The Wizard again He only liked Roy on Sun If rock and roll is your holy scripture Christ Almighty Picture Switzer The Wonderful Wizard of Taz
