the Marshall plan

In a dark horse town, in the middle of the west
Where Friday takes so long to arrive
Johnny wakes up dreaming turns on the radio
The he jumps up plays his guitar in the mirror
Starts his day with a rock and roll pose
Tonights the night that Susie and he
Are going to a rock and roll show
Tonight! Im gonna see some rock and roll!
Yeah, my favorite group is playing!
Tonight! Im gonna see some rock and roll!
Well its showtime and hes caught up in the crowd
He hates the crush but he loves the music loud
He reaches out and Susies disappeared,
Now Johnnys standing on a corner after the show
Looking for his Susie dear
But there goes his Susie - in the bands limousine!
Yeah, well thats the way it goes at these rock and roll shows
Thats the way it goes - its rock and roll
Thats the way it goes - its rock and roll
Now Susies gone, and Johnny hears the thunder
As he rolls another number and he counts
He counts the times hes felt himself to be the hero
Cause ever since he was a boy
Hes heard about adventure
As he looks into the mirror now he knows
He must be the star and play guitar like thunder
Find Susie at his rock and roll show
Boy, if I only had a good guitar and a big amp
Boy, it wouldnt be somebody else taking my girl away. ..tell ya
I know what I should do...Ill put an ad in the paper
Get a few other guys who want to play as much as I do
Tell ya, I aint playin nosurf music
Im gonna play some heavy music
Im gonna play bad
Im gonna play loud
I know just what I want it to sound like
Its gonna sound like...
Its gonna sound like...
This is Don Kirshner
And tonight on Don Kirshners Rock Concert
A new phenomenon in the music world
With six million albums to his credit in just two short years
My good friend, heres Johnny!
Now Johnny became a legend in his time
Found it easier to live in pain
Half a hero in a hard-hearted game
Now its showtime and hes caught up in the flow
He hates the rush but he needs the music so
Still he reaches out but Susies disappeared
Well thats the way it goes at these rock and roll shows
Its rock and roll
Thats the way it goes - Its rock and roll
