I Do The Rock


Edith Sitwell giving readings 14 Moscow road
Osbert's giving champagne parties
Gertrude's hanging pictures, Alice making tea
Me, I do the only thing that still makes sense to me
I do the rock, I do the rock rock

John and Yoko farming beef, raising protein quota
Sometimes they make love and art inside the Dakota
Rodney's feeling sexy, Mick is really frightfully bold
Me, I do the only thing that stops me growing old
I do the rock, I do the rock rock
I do the rock rock rock
It's stimulating

Solzhenitzin feels exposed, built a barbed-wire prison
Nietzsche's six feet under but his babies still got rhythm
Einstein's celebrating ten decades but I'm afraid philosophy is just
Too much responsibility for me
I do the rock, I do the rock

Baby Ruth and Dizzy Dean, Bess and Colin Cowdrey
Little Mo, Virginia Wade, Pistol Pete and O. J.
I've always lkied Di Maggio
And Rockney's pretty cute you know
I could never whack a ball with such velocity
I do the rock, I do the rock, I do the rock
It's stimulating, I'm a keen student

Liz and Dick and Britt and Liza, Jaclyn, Kate and Farrah
Meg and Roddy, John Travolta, Governor Brown and Linda
Interview and People Magazine, Miss Rona and the Queen
It must be really frightful to attract publicity
I do the rock myself

Carter, Begin and Sadat, Brezhnev, Teng and Castro
Every day negotiate us closer to disastro
Idi Amin and the Shah and Al Fatah is quite bizarre
I could never get the hang of ideology
I do the rock, I do the rock, I do the rock
