I want to tell you a story |
|
Once upon a time |
|
There were five young guys |
|
Hanging in and out of Newcastle, |
|
Playing Rhythm and Blues |
|
They had nothing to lose |
|
They didn't need that tin-pan hassle |
|
Over the Reeperbahn where the beat was born |
|
Shocking the heart of the nation |
|
Sign of the times |
|
A new search in life |
|
Start of a new rock generation |
|
From day one to kingdom come |
|
I'd do it all again |
|
I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal) |
|
I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal) |
|
I used to be an animal (whoa, oh) |
|
But I'm all right now |
|
All right now, baby |
|
Twenty years ago we were children of war |
|
But we danced to the Bo Diddley beat |
|
There were rockers and mods, |
|
We didn't take it too hard |
|
We had blue suede shoes on our feet |
|
A revolution in France and James Brown's dance |
|
A new world coming our way |
|
We'd talk that talk in the streets of New York |
|
And never looked back to this day |
|
From day one to the risin' sun |
|
I'll do it all again |
|
I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal) |
|
I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal) |
|
I used to be an animal (whoa, oh) |
|
But I'm all right now |
|
All right, all right, all right |
|
Yeah, yeah, all right, whoa baby |
|
We were flippin' and trippin' |
|
And rockin' and rollin' |
|
And generally havin' a ball |
|
For the price of a drink |
|
There was no time to think about the morality of it all |
|
There was freaks and queens and love-ins and has-beens |
|
Whisky-a-gogos and all night flamingos |
|
A psychedelic explosion in slow motion, |
|
Dr Strangelove's bomb |
|
From day one to the risin' sun |
|
I'll do it all again (whoa, oh, oh) |
|
I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal) |
|
I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal) |
|
I used to be an animal (whoa, oh) |
|
But I'm all right now |
|
All right, all right, |
|
Yeah, yeah, |
|
All right, all right, |
|
I'm all right now... |
