Randy Newman
The Story of a Rock and Roll Band
[Verse 1]
They were six fine English boys
Who knew each other in Birmingham
They bought a drum and guitar
Started a rock 'n' roll band

[Verse 2]
And Johnny played a little violin
And Bobby Joe played the big violin
The one that stands on the floor
They were all in the rock 'n' roll band

[Bridge]
Their first song sounded like this
Please get me a witness
Please get me a witness

[Verse 3]
Right off, they needed a name
Someone said, "How about The Renegades?"
Johnny said, "Well, I don't know
I prefer E.L.O."

[Verse 4]
I love their "Mr. Blue Sky"
Almost my favorite is "Turn to Stone"
And how about "Telephone Line?"
I love that E.L.O. 
I love their "Mr. Blue Sky"
Almost my favorite is "Turn to Stone"
And how about "Telephone Line?"
I love that E.L.O.
