Do you wanna get rocked?
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
I'm your average, ordinary everyday kid, happy to do nothin'
In fact that's what I did
Got a million ways to make my dayBut daddy don't agree,
'cos when I try to get away he says he got plans for me
"Get your butt right out of bed"
Stop buggin' me
"Get up and move your sleepy head"
Don't shake my tree
He said "Mow the lawn" - who me?
"Walk the dog" - not my style, man!
"Take out the trash" - no way!
"Tidy your room" - c'mon get real!
Sorry dad, gotta disappear
Let's get the rock out of here
(BRIDGE)
Seven day weekend, up all night
In at the deep end, hang on tight
Won't take a minute, it won't take long
So get on in it
Come on, c'mon, c'mon
(CHORUS)
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Let's go all the way, get it night 'n' day
C'mon, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
I'm your average, ordinary everyday dude,
drivin' with my baby to get her in the mood
She's dialin' through my radio and I'm ready to make my move
But what she got ain't rock 'n' roll and it really blew my groove
It was Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven
It makes me wanna scream
Bach, Tchaikovsky, violins
Turn it off! That ain't my scene
Well I'm sorry girl, here's my confession
I suppose a rock's out of the question?

Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Let's go all the way, get it night 'n' day
C'mon, let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get rocked
Oh, all I wanna do is take a ride into the blue
Spoken:
These are the times that try men's souls. In the course of our nation's history, the people of Boston have rallied
bravely whenever the rights of men have been threatened. Today, a new crisis has arisen. The Metropolitan
Transit Authority, better known as the M. T. A., is attempting to levy a burdensome tax on the population in the
form of a subway fare increase. Citizens, hear me out! This could happen to you!
(Eight bar guitar, banjo introduction)
Well, let me tell you of the story of a man named Charley on a tragic and fateful day.
He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family, went to ride on the M. T. A.
Chorus:
Well, did he ever return? No, he never returned and his fate is still unknown. (What a pity! Poor ole Charlie. Shame and scandal. He may ride forever. Just like Paul Revere.)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston. He's the man who never returned.
Charlie handed in his dime at the Kendall Square Station and he changed for Jamaica Plain.
When he got there the conductor told him, "One more nickel." Charlie couldn't get off of that train.
(Chorus)
Now, all night long Charlie rides through the station, crying, "What will become of me?!!
How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsea or my cousin in Rocksbury?"
(Chorus)
Charlie's wife goes down to the Sculley Square Station every day at quarter past two,
And through the open window she hands Charlie a sandwich as the train comes rumblin' through.
(Chorus)
Now, you citizens of Boston, don't you think it's a scandal how the people have to pay and pay?
Fight the fare increase! Vote for George O'Brien! Get poor Charlie off the M. T. A.
(Chorus)
He's the man who never returned. He's the man who never returned. Ain't you Charlie?
