Lyrics Randy Newman – The Story Of A Rock And Roll Band

Text:

They were six fine English boys
Who knew each other in Birmingham
They bought a drum and guitar
Started a rock-roll band

And Johnny played little violin
And Bobby Joe played the big violin
The one that stands on the floor
They were all in the rock-roll band

Their first song sounded like this
Please get me a witness
Please get me a witness

Right off, they needed a name
Someone said, «How ’bout the Renegades ?»
Johnny said, «Well I don’t know.
I prefer E.L.O.»

I love their «Mr. Blue Skies»
Almost my favorite is «Turn to Stone»
And how ’bout «Telephone Line»?
I love that E.L.O.
