THE ROCK AND ROLL BAND IN HEAVEN

Buddy Holly still writes songs in heaven
Played by the ultimate rock and roll band
Brian Jones is now a charter member
With so many instruments in his hand.

Jimi Hendrix still plays solos up there
Always unique with his own different flair
Janis Joplin is one of the singers
Riding the notes through Jim Morrison's air.

CHORUS

There's a rock and roll band in heaven
That will send you right out of this world
And when you hear their guitar sound
You open your arms and twirl.


Pig Pen sits in whenever there's blues
And he'll jump on the mike always on key
Duane Allman's melody is slide guitar
Backed up by the bass of Barry Oakley.

They needed a drummer and they got Keith Moon
Then John Bonham decided to join on
But Elvis kept the spirit of rocking
With guitar and vocals from John Lennon.

CHORUS



John Cipollina plays the tremolo
To capture that old San Francisco sound
And when Stevie Ray Vaughan's harmonic tricks
Mix with Frank Zappa's voice it gets real loud.

Nicky Hopkins still plays all those keyboards
And now Bill Graham gets to hang backstage
But even the band from heaven did weep
When Jerry Garcia showed up to play.
