Electric Messengers -

Ol' mama was astonished

The air was cold and damp

The men outside her window

Were no ordinary tramps

They stopped upon the highway

Their heads fell to the ground

The house ol' mama lived in,

Just barely stood the sound

Ol' mama thought her life was over

What she had seen was so unreal

She closed her eyes and thought

«I'm getting older»

She didn’t know they’d just begun

The radio was silent

The sheriff just left town

A shadow in the doorway

Not a human soul around

Neighbour Nellie had a runway

Couldn’t stand the main attraction

Ol' mama kicked the shadow out

And headed for the action

She ran out and said «Now it’s over»

You’ve been too long in this unknown land

Then she found out they were rock’n rollers

Now she knew they’d just begun

SHE LOVES 'EM, NEEDS 'EM-ELECTRIC MESSENGERS

Listen to the barrier of sound

SPARKLING POWER-ELECTRIC MESSENGERS

The pressure wave will life you from the ground

Ol' mama loved the way they sounded

Äcause what she heard was so unreal

She closed her eyes and thought

«I'm getting younger»

And she knew they’d just begun
