Rock Dreams

Teaching at the school Feeling like a fool Tell me what I did wrong Everbody use to love my songs Now I'm just a teacher mum What a big mistake My taking in an ape Killed my rock 'n' rolling dreams The boy who loves a big tall trees and me Well I belong in ammity Maybe I'll play rock And then I'll play along Yeah, yeah, yeah Wake up the kid Good morning its breakfast I know you how you like your bananas Quit with the screeching Schools in an hour Well my dreams are dying You'll be multiplying You're gonna like your new school Shane doesn't know That very long ago When dad and I were still quite thin Oh we came upon a baby chimp Decided that we'd take it in Forgetting all our dreams We took him as it seems We had a little family For seven hundred bucks a week, I teach And it pays for all the food Shane eats And he eats a lot Maybe I'll play rock And then I'll play along Yeah, yeah, yeah Wake up the kid Good morning its breakfast I know you how you like your bananas Quit with the screeching Schools in an hour Well my dreams are dying You'll be multiplying You're gonna like your new school Well it could have been me Upon the stage Yeah it could have been me If it wasn't for the chimp in the cage Oh it could have been me Upon the stage Yeah it could have been me If it wasn't for the chimp in the cage Oh it could have been my Upon the stage It could have been me --- Rock Dreams - The Lemon Twigs
