He pleads to his manager | |
There just seems to be no way out | |
Have one last cigarette | |
No time to put it out | |
He's quitting this time for good | |
This is the last gig for johnny b. goode | |
And now the pressure's really on | |
Black limousines close in | |
His hotel suite is really neat | |
But the flight nearly did him in | |
A telegram said break a leg | |
But the doctor says he's broken his head | |
Set up the amps | |
Play it loud | |
So no one can hear the words | |
Good job | |
They wouldn't wanna hang around | |
Set up the ligths | |
But keep em dim | |
So no one will see him in | |
The state that he's in | |
Ladies and gentlemen | |
Will you welcome for the last time | |
A man who if he could help it | |
Would not be here tonight | |
The man who has nothing left to prove | |
Bye bye johnny b. goode | |
The agent's looking restless | |
He says this house is awful bad | |
He said we should have booked the audience | |
Rather than booked the band | |
He's quitting this time for good | |
Because they won't turn up for johnny b. goode |
