Randy Newman - The Story of a Rock and Roll Band lyrics

They were six fine English boys

Who knew each other in Birmingham

They bought a drum and guitar

Started a rock-roll band

And Johnny played little violin

And Bobby Joe played the big violin

The one that stands on the floor

They were all in the rock-roll band

Their first song sounded like this

Please get me a witness

Please get me a witness

Right off, they needed a name

Someone said, "How 'bout the Renegades ?"

Johnny said, "Well I don't know.

I prefer E.L.O." I love their "Mr. Blue Skies"

Almost my favorite is "Turn to Stone"

And how 'bout "Telephone Line"?

I love that E.L.O.
