You may drive around in your town Ina brand new shiny car Your face in the wind your haircut's in And your friends think you're bizarre you may find a cushy job and I hope that you go far But if you really want to taste some cool success You better learn to play guitar CHORUS: Play guitar--play guitar (3X) You got your eye on the cheerleader queen you're walkin' her home from school You know that she's only seventeen She's gonna make you a fool You know you can't touch this stuff Without money or a brand new car Let me give you some good advice young man You better learn to play guitar CHORUS All women around the world want a phony rock star Who plays guitar You can pump your iron and shine your shoes And wear your hair just right You go down out on cruisin' street 'Cause you want to score tonight Ra da ra da ra da And you really want to show your scars Forget all about that macho shit And learn how to play guitar CHORUS
