Looking for lyrics...

To "On The Cover of the Rolling Stone", by Dr. Hook. I have the music (quite easy), the words to the first verse and part of the second, but I'm lost after that.

Anyone?

Cover of the Rolling Stone

(Dr. Hook)


A
Well we are big rock singers

we've got golden fingers
E
and we're loved everywhere we go,

we sing about beauty and we sing about thruth
E7 A
at ten thousand dollars a show;

we take all kind of pills

to give us all kind of thrills,
D
but the thrill we've never known,
E
is the thrill that'll get you

when you get your picture

A
on the cover of the Rolling Stone


CHORUS:
A E
Rolling Stone

wanna see my picture on the cover
A
wanna buy five copies for my mother
E
wanna see my smilin' face
D A
on the cover of the Rolling Stone



A
I've got a freaky old lady

called my Cocain Katy
E
who embroiders on my jeans,

I've got my poor old gray-haired Daddy,
E7 A
drivin' my limousine

Now it's all designed

to blow our minds
D
but our minds won't really be blown,
E
like the blow that'll get you

when you get your picture
A
on the cover of the Rolling Stone



CHORUS



A
We got a lot of

little teenage, blue-eyed groupies
E
who do anything we say,

we got a genuine Indian guru,
E7 A
who's teachin' us a better way,

we got all the friends

that money can buy,
D
so we never have to be alone,
E
and we keep gettin' richer

but we can't get our picture
A
on the cover of the Rolling Stone


2 x CHORUS

Just to clarify, "Cover of the Rolling Stone" was written by the late, great Shel Silverstein. You can find the lyrics to all his grown-up songs at http://www.banned-width.com/shel/misc/lyrics.html including "Rolling Stone."

Silverstein also wrote a lot for kids, including several books and the songs "The Unicorn" (which he sang much better than the Irish Rovers) and "Boa Constrictor."
