Rock of Ages Page #3

Bought a beat-up six string

In a secondhand store

Didn't know how to play it

But I knew for sure

That one guitar

Felt good in my hands

Didn't take long

To understand

Just one guitar

Slung way down low

Was a one-way ticket

Only one way to go

-So l started rockin'

-Rockin'

Ain't never gonna stop

No

-Gotta keep on rockin'

-Rockin'

Someday I'm gonna make it to the top

And sing

I love rock 'n' roll

So put another dime in the jukebox, baby

I love rock 'n' roll

So come and take your time

And dance with me

In a town with no name

In a heavy downpour

Thought l passed my own shadow

By the backstage door

Like a trip through the past

To that day in the rain

And that one guitar

Made my whole life change

And we'll be movin' on and singin'

That same old song

Yeah, with me

Singin'

And be a jukebox hero

So put another dime in the jukebox, baby

I'm a jukebox hero

So come and take your time

And dance with me

-Just-a one guitar

-Jukebox hero

Got stars in my eyes

-I'm just a jukebox hero

-Ah, ah, ah

-Jukebox hero

-Stars, stars

I love rock 'n' roll

-Jukebox hero

-Stars, stars

So come and take your time

And dance with me

Stars in our eyes

I love rock 'n' roll

Whoa.

Whew.

The problem is, I think I'll only ever

be good on a jukebox.

What do you mean?

I get stage fright.

You've gotta be kidding me.

No.

You've gotta breathe.

I think I got that part down.

No, I'm serious, you've gotta breathe.

Like, takes away the nerves.

Breathe in through your nose

and out through your mouth.

Do it a couple times. You'll be fine.

Maybe you should help me practice.

Are you asking me out on a date?

Yeah.

Then yes.

Cool.

Okay, well, l should probably check

into my motel and grab my stuff, so....

Gotta get back to work.

-Okay, well, bye. Oh.

-Bye.

Bye. Oh. Ha-ha.

Sorry.

Well, good night.

See you tomorrow, Mrs. Whitmore.

Mr. Whitmore. Call me.

Mm.

-Mike?

-Mm.

-Why so jumpy?

-Oh.

Well, it's just that Doug Flintlock.

He wants the Strip, Patty-cake,

and we have to deliver.

Of course we will, sweetheart.

How?

-We'll go after the head of the snake.

-Ooh.

-The Bourbon.

-Oh, right.

If we cut off the head, the Strip will die.

The Bourbon could be a Benetton

by the end of the month.

Now listen Me and the ladies

are going after all the church groups...

...to make this happen.

We're even talking

to the Health Department.

We should review all their paperwork

for violations.

Oh, trust me...

...if we find so much as a hair

in a cocktail olive...

...we're shutting them down.

Hey, boss, we found some hairs

in the cocktail olives again.

Then rinse them off.

Okay.

No!

Nobody puts Donkey in the corner!
