Guitar Star - Alvin Stardust

Well I went to a jam — with the best in the land

Had to show what they could say

There were trombones, sidephones — every kind of saxaphone

Itching every chance to play

In a corner stood a guy — looking kinda shy

Carrying a guitar case

But then somebody said «It's your turn son»

And that’s when he hit the place

He went …

Everyone stood up — cos they had to see

Who the heck was making noise

Everyone agreed — he’s a guitar star

Cos we should know the men from boys

«You gotta play — you gotta play son —

«Son — you gotta play all night»

…Now that’s what I call finger lickin' pickin' chicken -yeah

Back home — country style

(«Got a job — anytime you want it boy»)

Well somebody said — «He's way out ahead

«Cos nobody plays that fast»

The record man there — nearly blew his hair

He never heard a sound like that

«Jimmy won’t you sign — sign on the line

«Tell me what you want from me»

He said to be a star — «I wanna be a star» oh oh yeah!

Oh… Jump!

— Jump!

— Jump Jimmy jump

Well he just stood there, walking up and down

Like my mate John Skelly

Oh it’s finger licking working so hard

Ooh!

— Lay it on!

— Play it!

— Someone's got to… here

Do, do it!.. do it again

Come on, Rattle Em!'

Yeah, lay it on down!

Hey you gotta give this boy a chance — man

Come on down here and sign him up

Oh!

There he goes again

This has got to be a hit record I’m sure

Oh scramble them fingers Johnny!
