Rocky, Rocky

hey locked him up in fifty-nine
Said he'd gone out of his mind
Aiming for success that never came
He realised that he never would
Reach the stars though he was good
And it made him mad to face that shame

But one day there came a rockingband to play for the crowd
He made the scene and grabbed the mike and tried it out loud

He started rocking like a hurricane
Crying out his sorrow and pain
Ohhh, Rocky did rock them all down
And the people on the dancing floor
Got all excited and yelled for more
Ohhh, Rocky did rock them all down

Then one day the doctor said
“Rocky I don’t think you’re mad”
“Take your stuff it’s time for you too leave”
So Rocky hung his guitar on
Said "I know what did go wrong"
This is what I’ll do when I get free

He started rocking like a hurricane
Cause at last he was free again
Ohhh, Rocky did rock them all down
And the men in the clean white shirts
All agreed it was the best they've heard
Ohhh, Rocky did rock them all down

Now his a man on fifty-five
And he’s so glad to be alive
Telling all his kids what's right and wrong
Often from theyre radio comes the sound of rock ‘n’ roll
And that music really turns them on

And now and then they have a ball on Saturday night
And Rocky plays the guitar and he’s treating it right

He starts rocking like a hurricane
Yelling out an old refrain
Ohhh, Rocky is really rocking them down
And his neighbours and all of his friends
They wanna hear him again and again
Ohhh, Rocky is really rocking them down

Ohhh, Rocky is really rocking them down
