Hey Cat, where you Goin man?
Man, i’m going down to Bop Street
Tell me Cat, where's that direction?
Ain't you heard? They've got one in every town , real cool
Riding on a T-Bird, Racing with the Devil unseen
Junction fast approaching,, it Alright , the lights green
Smash, bang walloped by a car where it shouldn't have been
Not a soul down on the corner…
Faster than his T-Bird,to the Navy Hospital, they flew
And the Doctors took one look and knew what to do
We hate to tell you so, but the leg it has to go
Too much damage, from the crash, , can we save it?
Well the answer that we give is sadly No
Doc, my leg it stays!so put your knife away
Really.? But there's so much pain you will endure
Yeah, but once it's gone, it's gone!
Then what happens if they find a cure
Reading Lil Lula, as in his bed he lay
Grabbing his guitar, a little tune he began to play
Finally on crutches, he hobbled to a radio show
Who gave the polite, and quiet young man his chance
Ok son, we are ready let's go
Well! be-bop-a-Lula, she's my baby…
He began his song
Dollar signs lit up the radio
He could have a regular show
Hey tell me, what's your name again son?
Just one song had been enough to change
His life, completely rearranged
From that point in life he was on tour
His pain hidden by an alcohol based cure
History tells us of all that he done
An angelic voice, or the Devils, as one
Losing his best friend, Mr Summertime Blues
He would not live to see 1972
Yet, this is not the end of his tale
His music is still playing, cd’s still on sale
The Late,Great Gene Vincent, voice strong and true
Last words from your album
The Day, the World turned Blue
Now I've met my maker
Just left the Undertaker
The penalty you see
The one that loves you
Her face you will never see
Cmon man, lets got going
Yeah let's go on down to Bop Street
