No Surprize

(Tyler/Perry)

nineteen seventy one

we all heard the starters gun

New York is such a pity but at Max's Kansas City we won

we all shot the shit at the bar

with Johnny O'Toole and his scar

and then old Clive Davis said he's surely gonna make us a star

I'm gonna make you a star

just the way you are

but with all his style

I could see in his eyes

that we is goin' on trial

and it was no surprize

the boys kept kickin' ass

as usual time will tell

but some bitch in the choir threw waters on the fires of hell

she loved to show and tell

lord she loved to tell

but with all our style

you could see in our eyes

that we is still on trial

baby it's no surprize, no surprize, no surprize, no surprize

midnight lady

situation fetal

vaccinate your ass with your phonograph needle

I say lookie here

friend of mine

scratch like you need calomine

flamingo boots

soles a-creakin'

still in love and Puerto Rican too

ridin' on the wheels of hell

smokin' up our axle grease

oh the backstage is rockin' and we're coppin' from the local police

that's right the local police

or the justice of peace

chorus

rock and roll

junkie whore

got my foot inside the door

knock knock, knock knock, knock

nobody's keepin' score

bad times go away

come again some other day

topaz and sassafraz

will keep the blues away

candy store rock and roll

corporation jelly roll

play the singles it ain't me

it's programmed insanity

you ASCAP if BMI

could ever make a mountian fly

if Japanese can boil teas

then where the fuck's my royalties?
