Rock 'N' Roll Contract by Tom Evans

ROCK 'N' ROLL CONTRACT (Tom Evans) [commercial version from "Head First"]

Know you caaaaaaaan
Know you caaaaaaaan
Know you caaaaaaaan
Know you can

Wrapped up in a rock 'n' roll contract
Lots of paper, I had to sign lots of times
Man told me not to worry 'bout the business
Just keep on poppin' those hits

Know you caaaaaaaan (That'll do for voice deficiency)
Know you caaaaaaaan (You know you can, we'll insure you for that)
Know you caaaaaaaan (Say, you've got a fine voice and you can sing in tune)
Know you can (And that...)

Know you caaaaaaaan (But I was telling me-lies)
Know you caaaaaaaan (I never really did believe him)
Know you caaaaaaaan
Know you can

Sat down in my pyramid mansion
Old Martin seems to know all the chords
Blew the band, I could make it without them
Had the booze so I wouldn't get bored

BRIDGE:
You made me your slave
Whatever God gave me
You took to the grave, now it's gone
I gave you my heart
Whatever God gave me
You took to the grave, now it's gone
Yeah, it's gone
Gone

Smokin', chokin', drinkin', sinkin'
Fallin' over
Cokin', flyin', speedin', dyin'
Roll me over
Roll me over
(Wrapped up in a rock 'n' roll contract)
Roll me over
(Wrapped up in a rock 'n' roll contract)

Know you caaaaaaaan
Know you caaaaaaaan
Know you caaaaaaaan
Know you can

Know you caaaaaaaan
Know you caaaaaaaan
Know you caaaaaaaan
Know you can

[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]...
