Not Faking It - Nazareth

Slim Jim was a stool pidgeon

On the payroll of the f.b.i.

Reverend Fred sold instant religion

With a license from the man in the sky

Billy the kid was a gunslinger

Edgar Wallace was a dead ringer

Me, I’m just a rock’n’roll singer

Keyhole Pete was a keen watcher

Had a telephoto lens in each eye

Jack the ripper was a cool stalker

But his birds no longer fly

James Joyce was a mudslinger

Jesus Christ was a forgiver

Me, I’m just a rock’n’roll singer

I’m not fakin' it Foolin' myself that I’m makin' it

I’m not fakin' it Tricky dicky was a fast talker

But his promises were always a lie

Nostradamus was a doomwatcher

Predicted when we’re gonna die

Cleopatra was a love giver

Jesse James was a born killer

Me, I’m just a rock’n’roll singer
