Dr. Hook, 1972

dr. hook on youtube

ah ha ha I dont believe it... hey Ray, hey Sugar, tell em who we are)
Well, we big rock singers, we got golden fingers, and were loved everywhere we go.
(That sounds like us)
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth at ten thousand dollars a show.
We take all kind of pills to give us all kind of thrills but the thrill weve never known
Is the thrill thatll getcha when you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone.
Rolling Stone wanna see my picture on the cover-
Stone- wanna buy 5 copies for my mother-
Stone- wanna see my smilin face
on the cover of the Rolling Stone.

Happy October 6, 2011!
