E
1971, we all heard the starters gun
New York was such a pity
                             B
But at Max's Kansas City we won
   E
We all shot the shit at the bar
With Johnny O' Toole and his scar
And then old Clive Davis said
                              B
He's surely gonna make us a star
                          E
I'm going to make you a star
Just the way you are

Chorus:
                   A
But with all his style
                    B
I could see in his eyes
                      A
That we is going on trial
                   B  E
And it was no surprize


The boys kept kicking ass
As usual time would tell
But some bitch in the choir
Throw water on the fires of hell
She loved to show and tell
Lord, she loved to tell

Chorus

        B  A
No surprize
        B  A
No surprize
        B  A
No surprize

Dm
Midnight lady, situation fetal
Vaccinate your ass with your phonograph needle

       Dm
I say look here, friend of mine
You scratch like you need calamine
Flamingo boots, soles a creaking
                                E
Still in love and Puerto Rican too

Riding on wheels of hell
Smoking our axle grease
Oh, the backstage is rocking
And we're copping from the local police
That's right, the local police
Or the justice of peace

Chorus

No surprize
No surprize
No surprize

Dm
Rock n' roll, junkie whore
Got my foot inside the door
Knock knock, knock knock, knock
Nobody's keeping score

Bad times go away
Come again some other day
Topaz and sazzafraz
Will keep the blues away

Candy store, rock n' roll
Corporation jellyroll
Play the singles, it ain't me
It's programmed insanity
You ASCAP, Or BMI
Could ever make a mountain fly
If Japanese can boil teas
Then where the fuck's my royalties...aar
