Come here sonny, listen to your Ma.
She said - Take my advice and you'll get far.
Don't truck with women ‘til you get through school,
And listen to the teacher 'cause the teacher’s cool.
If only mother could see me now
Singing in a rock and roll band, taking a bow.
Well now, some fella told me, son, you can sing.
Here's a geetar, learn to hold that thing
Shake your legs, wiggle your hip,
And sign here sonny, don't give me no lip.
If only mother could see me now
Singing in a rock and roll band, taking a bow.
I'm only in it for the money,
I'm only in it for the bread
I'm only in it for what I can get,
And I ain't got none yet.
Don’t give a hoot about the hoo-ha,
Don't give a damn about the glam,
I'm only in it for a black Chevrolet,
And I'm well on my way to fifty grand.
I'm only in it for the money,
I'm only in it for the bread
I'm only in it for what I can get.
Have you got some yet? (No!)
Don’t give a hoot about the hoo-ha,
Don't give a damn about the glam,
I'm only in it for a black Chevrolet,
And I'm well on my way to fifty grand.
