One Of The Survivors

Track B3
 
(Sung by Johnny Thunder and Chorus) See Johnny Thunder sitting on his motorbike Riding along the highway Rock and Roll songs from the nineteen-fifties Buzzing around in his brain Johnny Thunder he's one of the original bebop generation And he's got no time for complicated music or too much sophistication He's one of the survivors The motorbike riders You ought to see Johnny Thunder riding down the highway One of the rock and roll survivors Twelve bars flowing through his brain He digs Jerry Lee Lewis, Dion and The Belmonts And Johnny and The Hurricanes He plays Hound Dog, Oh Boy, and Great Balls of Fire And Boppin' At The High School Hop And he's got no time for phonies or posers 'Cos they don't know how to reel and rock And he plays Little Egypt and Ooh Poo Pah Doo And he plays Poison Ivy and Blue Suede Shoes The Hollywood Argyles, Danny and The Juniors Dion and The Belmonts, Johnny and The Hurricanes He's one of the survivors The boppers and the jivers Yeah and he rocks all day Johnny and The Hurricanes, Johnny and The Hurricanes Got my freedom riding along the freeway I ride a hundred miles an hour but I don't mess up my D.A Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock 'n' roll You can't stop rock 'n' rollin' music play (repeat last two lines) Feel those vibrations flowing through my brain Got my freedom riding down the highway Keeps me sane, feel alive I'm one of the survivors Feel all right First gear, second gear, third gear, fourth gear, all right Old Johnny Thunder looks a little overweight And his sideburns are turning grey But he still likes to bebop, boogie and jive To his worn out seventy-eights Johnny Thunder He's alright He's one of the survivors Twelve bars flowing through his brain Jerry Lee Lewis, Dion and The Belmonts Johnny and The Hurricanes, Johnny and The Hurricanes
