Cover of the Rolling Stone Songtext

von Dr. Hook

WELL WE'RE BIG ROCK SINGERS
WE GOT GOLDEN FINGERS
AND WE'RE LOVED EVERYWHERE WE GO

WE SING ABOUT BEAUTY
AND WE SING ABOUT TRUTH
AT TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS A SHOW

WE TAKE ALL KINDS OF PILLS
TO GIVE US ALL KINDS OF THRILLS
BUT THE THRILL WE'VE NEVER KNOWN

IS THE THRILL THAT WILL GET YOU
WHEN YOU GET YOUR PICTURE
ON THE COVER OF THE ROLLING STONE

chorus;
GOING TO SEE MY PICTURE ON THE COVER
GONNA BUY FIVE COPIES FOR MY MOTHER
GONNA SEE MY SMILING FACE
ON THE COVER OF THE ROLLING STONE

I GOT A FREAKY OLD LADY
NAME A COCAINE KATY
WHO EMBROIDERS ON MY JEANS
I GOT MY POOR OLD GRAY HAIR DADDY
DRIVING MY LIMOUSINE

NOW LET'S ALL DECIDE
TO BLOW OUR MINDS
BUT OUR MINDS WON'T REALLY BE BLOWN

LIKE THE BLOW THAT WILL GET'CHA
WHEN YOU GET YOUR PICTURE
ON THE COVER OF THE ROLLING STONES

chorus

WE GOT A LOT OF LITTLE
TEEN AGE BLUE EYED GROUPIES
WHO'D DO ANYTHING WE'D SAY

WE GOT A GENUINE INDIAN GURU
HE'S TEACHING US A BETTER WAY
WE GOT ALL THE FRIENDS THAT MONEY CAN BUY
SO WE NEVER HAVE TO BE ALONE

AND WE KEEP GETTING RICHER
BUT WE CAN'T GET OUR PICTURE ON THE COVER OF THE ROLLING STONES
