"Even Trolls Love Rock n' Roll" lyrics

One time I had this little band back home
A rock-and-roll band
And we was going to play this job one night
And it weren't too far away
So we was walking
But we came upon a long dark stretch of woods
Had an old river running through it
And an old wooden bridge across the river
Well, just as I was about to step up on the bridge
Out stepped the troll
A whole mighty troll

And he said, "Hey. Looks like you all are going to play somewhere
I said, 'Yes, sir'
'Cause you always wanna say 'Yes, sir' to a troll
He said, "Now, I hate to mess up your boys' job
But I sure could dig hearing you play a little bit
I said, "Man, we can't just plug up
And play it right here upon the bridge."
And he said, "why?" And I go, "'Cause..."
But the troll said, "Play!"
And that's what we did

Well, the wind was howling at the night
And the moon was covered up with clouds
I was walking 'cross a bridge on a dirt road
When I heard a troll growl

He said, "Don't you go walking cross my bridge
I am gonna make it tough on you
I will give you swamp fever
And you'll be wondering if you're you
Yeah
You know you got to pay the toll
'Cause even trolls love rock and roll

Uh it will keep you up all night
Drinking and a-carrying on
Getting it to the swamp music
Get it on, get it on
Uh you know you got to pay my toll
'Cause even trolls love rock and roll."

Hey

And the troll said, "Hey"
He said, "You boys just ain't getting it
He said, "Would you mind if I borrowed that old guitar and showed you all a lick
Well, since we ain't never heard a troll play, we let him have it
And he goes like this

I said, "Damn, troll!"
Yeah. You know you got to pay the toll
'Cause even trolls love rock and roll

Wow

Would you mind if I had my guitar back?
And the troll said, "Whoa!"
