Mr E Lyrics - Singles - The Getaway People

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
