5 little kids in a rock `n` roll band got money in the pocket
and money to spend
Drummer had a friend who had a cousin called Jack who had a head
for the good times, called crack
He liked to go cruisin` in his red convertible, the band heard
the news playin` on the radio speedin` down the highway ready
for more
Never saw it comin`, then they were 4
4 little kids in a rock `n` roll band got an axeman goin` with
a demon in his hand
Likes to pose, expose, man it snows up his nose this is how the story goes:
Lost in a maze doin` Purple Haze, Beautiful, Beautiful!
From the A to the B to the X-T-C to the D doing E, then they were 3
Mr. E my man you can drive my van
Get your booty on the table take a place in my band
Mr. E my man with the masterplan
it`s a different fable in your stable
Friends of mine are friends of yours
3 little kids in a rock `n` roll band bump into the man with the masterplan
Face to face Mr. Bassman pays for his ways and the better he plays
E-string, A-string, D-string, G, tell all the people what you see
Fell off the stage like bassmen do, never got up, then they were 2
2 little kids in a rock `n` roll band payin` their dues to the Candyman
The Moog had to go just to pay for the snow the Hammond B3 for the LSD
You see life ain`t easy when you`re down to the last key
Hotel sleazy O.D. gone, never got up, then they were 1
Mr. E my man you can drive my van
1 little kid in a rock `n` roll band tryin` so hard just to understand
Dopey fready day and night, just how long `til I see the light
Mr. E is truly a mystery to me
Mr. E is a guy who a lot of people see in the eye
Mr. E is like the catcher in the rye if you wanna know the reason
Only he can tell you why
