A distant friend of Johnny B. Goode



Jason B. Sad was a lonely lad

His head was a bed for everyone

His clothes was his life

but his heart was a knife

Inscribed on it was "rock 'n' roll is cruel"



Take me to school, boy

Leave me alone, boy

Slice me a bone of the Universe

Take me to school, boy

Leave me alone, boy

Slice me a bone of the Universe



Jason got weird and he pierced his ears

A gypsy alone in his gallantry

He met Shaky Sue, who wore only blue

And they shared in their teenage misery



Then Jason read books and wore hard looks

He swapped Sue for an artisan

His winters were long and a fantastic song

Grew from his head like a marigold
