Bobby Dazzler

Gillian Shakespeare, John Carter

[Verse 1]
In '59, you had a rock and roll band
You really played a mean guitar
Now everybody said you were gonna make it big
But you never got to be a star
You didn't give up so easy
You still kept playing the game
You found yourself a man for a small percentage
And he gave you a different name

[Chorus]
Oh, Bobby Dazzler
What they trying to do to you?
(What they trying to do to you?)
They tell you what to wear and how to comb your hair
And everything else you do
Oh, Bobby Dazzler
How they really let you down
(How they really let you down)
You'd got nothing left to sing when they stood you in the ring
And painted you like a clown
Bobby Dazzler (Ooh, sha-la-la-la-la)
Bobby Dazzler (Ooh, sha-la-la-la-la)
Bobby Dazzler
(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)

[Verse 2]
In '64, you got the surfin' sound (Whee-ooh)
You were the clean-cut American boy (Wah-wah-wah-ooh)
You were nearly phased out on a mystery tour
Yeah, '67 was a joy (Goo goo g'joob)
You wore a pair of faded denims
Around about '69
Your very last chance to be in the circus
Is here for the very last time

[Chorus]
Oh, Bobby Dazzler
What they trying to do to you?
(What they trying to do to you?)
They tell you what to wear, how to comb your hair
And everything else you do
Oh, Bobby Dazzler
How they really let you down
(How they really let you down)
You'd got nothing left to sing when they stood you in the ring
And painted you like a clown
Bobby Dazzler (Ooh, sha-la-la-la-la)
Bobby Dazzler (Ooh, sha-la-la-la-la)
Bobby Dazzler

[Bridge]
Now look here, son
You do exactly as I say
I can see a very bright future for you
You're the boss, where do I sign?
Sign just here
Don't forget the copy

[Chorus]
Oh, Bobby Dazzler
What they trying to do to you?
(What they trying to do to you?)
They tell you what to wear and how to comb your hair
And everything else you do
Oh, Bobby Dazzler
How they really let you down
(How they really let you down)
You'd got nothing left to sing when they stood you in the ring
And painted you like a clown
Oh, Bobby Dazzler
