Well we were just another band out of Boston

On the road to try to make ends meet

Playin' all the bars

Sleepin' in our cars

And we practiced right on out in the street

No we didn't have much money

We barely made enough to survive

But when we got up on stage

And got ready to play

People came alive

Rock and roll band

Everybody's waitin'

Gettin' crazy

Anticipating love and music

Play play play yeah yeah yeah yeah

Dancin' in the streets of Hyannis

We were getting pretty good at the game

People stood in line and didn't seem to mind

You know everybody knew our name

Livin' on rock and roll music

Never worry about the things we were missing

When we got up on the stage

And got ready to play

Everybody'd listen

Rock and roll band

Everybody's waitin'

Gettin' crazy

Anticipating love and music

Play play play yeah yeah yeah yeah

Playin' for a week in Rhode Island

A man came to the stage one night

He smoked a big cigar

And drove a Cadillac car

And said "Boys I think this bands outta sight

Sign a record company contract

You know I've got great expectations

When I hear you all in Carnegie Hall

You're goin' to be a sensation"

Rock and roll band

Everybody's waitin'

Gettin' crazy

Anticipating love and music

Play play play yeah yeah yeah yeah
