The Cover of the Rolling Stone Lyrics

von Dr. Hook

I don′t believe it
Da, da, ah, oh, don't touch me
Hey Ray, hey Sugar, tell them who we are

Well, we′re big rock singers, we got golden fingers and we're loved everywhere we go (that sounds like us)
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth at 10,000 dollars a show (right)
We take all kinda pills that give us all kinda thrills but the thrill we've never known
Is the thrill that′ll get ya when you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone

(Rolling stone) wanna see my picture on the cover
(Stone) wanna buy five copies for my mother (yes)
(Stone) wanna see my smiling face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone (that′s a very, very good idea)

I got a freaky ol' lady name a cocaine Katy who embroideries on my jeans
I got my poor ol′ grey-haired daddy driving my limousine
Now it's all designed to blow our minds but our minds won′t really be blown
Like the blow that'll get ya when you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone

(Rolling Stone) wanna see our pictures on the cover
(Stone) wanna buy five copies for our mothers (yeah)
(Stone) wanna see my smiling face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

Hey, I know how
Rock and roll

Oh, that′s beautiful

We got a lotta little teenage blue-eyed groupies who'd do anything we 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 Stone

(Rolling Stone) wanna see my picture on the cover
(Stone) wanna buy five copies for my mother (I want one)
(Stone) wanna see my smiling face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

On the cover of the Rolling Stone
Gonna see my picture on the cover (I don′t know why we ain't on the cover, baby)
Gonna buy five copies for my mother (we′re beautiful fellas)
Gonna see my smiling face (I ain't kidding ya, we would make a beautiful cover)
On the cover of the Rolling Stone (front shot, right up front, man, I can see it now)
We′d be on the front, smiling, man, oh, beautiful
