I dig rock and roll music, and to love to get the chance to play (and sing it) I figure it's about the happiest sound goin' down today The message may not move me Or mean a great deal to me But hey, it feels so groovy to say I dig The Mamas and The Papas at the trip Sunset Strip in L.A. And they got (they got) a good thing goin' when the words don't get in the way And when they're really wailing Michelle and Cass are sailin' Hey, they really nail me through the wall, yeah Donovan in a dream-like, tripped out way His crystal images, hey, they tell you 'bout a brighter day And when The Beatles tell you (they'll tell you) They've got a word, love to sell you (only in love) And they mean exactly what they say I dig, oh-oh, rock and roll music I could really get it on in that scene I think I could say somethin' if you know what I mean But if I really say it, the radio won't play it Unless I lay it between the lines
