"Born To Boogie (A Tribute To Marc Bolan)" lyrics
"Born To Boogie (A Tribute To Marc Bolan)"
What you got?
Born to boogie
He stood five-foot-four
But was a giant of his generation
Just an East End kid
Who became a rock 'n' roll sensation
A dandy and a superstar
Who led a sexual revolution
Now when he played guitar
He was a rock god, babyface assassin
He wore a black bowler hat and a jacket made of cherry red satin
He was a hero of mine
That's why I wrote a song about him
"Bang a Gong," "Get It On," "I Love to Boogie"
"Telegram Sam," "Twentieth Century Boy"
"Ride a White Swan" and "Children of the Revolution," revolution
Now when the lights go down and all the crowd is swaying
Then he starts up "Jeepster," all the girls are screaming
Wow, they're screaming all right
If you ever saw this guy, then you'll know just what I'm singing
Oh, Lord
Now when I die, I'll be rocking up in Heaven beside him (Heaven beside him)
We'll play a twelve part blues
See if all God's children got the rhythm (Got the rhythm)
The little maestro was a genius
That's why I wanna sing about him (Sing about him)
"Bang a Gong," "Get It On," "I Love to Boogie"
"Telegram Sam," "Twentieth Century Boy"
"Ride a White Swan" and "Children of the, of the Revolution," people
"Bang a Gong," "Get It On," "I Love to Boogie"
"Telegram Sam," "Twentieth Century Boy"
"Ride a White Swan" and "Children of the Revolution"
I love to boogie
I love to boogie
Oh my, he could boogie-woogie-woogie
What a man, what a guy, what a star
Marc the genius

Jackson Browne - "Stay" People stay just a little bit longer
We want to play - just a little bit longer
Now the promoter don't mind
And the union don't mind
If we take a little time
And we leave it all behind and sing
One...
Bee Gees - "To Love Somebody" There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
Lived with you
There's a way everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring...
Van Morrison - "Bright Side Of The Road" From the dark end of the street
To the bright side of the road
We'll be lovers once again on the
Bright side of the road
Little darlin', come with me
Won't you help me share my load
From the dark...
Smokie - "Living Next Door To Alice" Sally called when she got the word
And she said: "I suppose you've heard
About Alice"
When I rushed to the window
And I looked outside
And I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up...
