Mamma Rock 'N' Roller

(álbum: Approved By The Motors - 1978)

Dead drunk in the middle of the road
Nobody cares
Too late, she got a heavy load
Too weak to make it to the show

And now the curtain calls
To remind me
They're waiting in the wings
And now the lights are turned down low
Read all about it

Mama rock 'n' roller ain't gonna make it
Mama rock 'n' roller ain't gonna make it
Read all about it, read it in the news
Got a front-page photograph
Rock 'n' roll queen tried to kick the blues
Spend a dime if you got some time to laugh

Last night, singing in the rain (The rain, rain)
But tonight, tonight, a needle in a vein (Vein, vein, vein)

It's on the radio
TV stations
Every street corner
You can hear the newsboys call
Read all about it

Mama rock 'n' roller ain't gonna make it
Mama rock 'n' roller ain't gonna make it
Read all about it, read it in the news
Got a front-page photograph
Rock 'n' roll queen tried to kick the blues
Spend a dime if you got some time to laugh

Can I have your autograph?
Can I take your photograph?
Really liked the show tonight
Do you want to feel alright?

And now the curtain calls
To remind me
They're waiting in the wings
And now the lights are turned down low
Read all about it

Mama rock 'n' roller ain't gonna make it
(Mama rock 'n' roller ain't gonna make it)
(Mama rock 'n' roller ain't gonna make it)
Mama rock 'n' roller ain't gonna make it
(Mama rock 'n' roller ain't gonna make it)
(Mama rock 'n' roller ain't gonna make it)
Wow

Mama rock 'n' roller ain't gonna make it (Mama rock 'n' roller)
Mama rock 'n' roller ain't gonna make it (Mama rock 'n' roller)
Mama rock 'n' roller ain't gonna make it (Mama rock 'n' roller)
Mama rock 'n' roller ain't gonna make it (Mama rock 'n' roller)
Mama rock 'n' roller ain't gonna make it (Mama rock 'n' roller)
Mama rock 'n' roller ain't gonna make it (Mama rock 'n' roller)
Mama rock 'n' roller

Mama rock 'n' roller ain't gonna make it
Night-night, vinyl
