"Ode To A Garage Band--1982"






Me and Booker and Eddie
We're starting this band.
We should be playing out by summer
If everything goes as planned.
We're gonna jam in Eddie's basement
'Cuz his mom works nights
And we found this used fog machine
And a couple strobe lights.
Now Booker doesn't own a bass
And we don't know any songs
But we got a cool band name thought up
And our logo's been drawn.

Me and Booker and Eddie
We're starting this band.
We're gonna get to the gigs
In my mom's Chevy Astro Van.
Yeah, we do some covers
But originals that's really our cup.
We're really gonna rock the house
As soon as we think a couple up.
We sound like a combination of
Aldo Nova and Pablo Cruise
With a touch of Funkadelic
And a just bit of Huey Lewis And The News.

Me and Booker and Eddie
We're starting this band.
But we can't jam at Eddie's no more
'Cuz his mom got mad.
We got together at my place
a couple times up in my room
But my kid sister kept bugging us
So we couldn't get in any kind of groove.
No, Booker still doesn't own a bass
He brought over his trumpet instead.
Now we're kind of a mix of Miles Davis
And the Grateful Dead.

Me and Booker and Eddie
We were starting this band
But Eddie fell off his Mo-Ped,
Broke his hand.
Now Booker says he can't buy a bass
'Cuz he's saving up for a car, yeah right,
Broker's whole life savings
Is a handful of change in a jar.
Me, I just started baseball
I mainly pinch run
You know, Caulfield and Ackley
Told me you play the drums.
We ought to get together sometime,
Up in my room and jam.
I have a couple cool logos drawn up.
Wanna start a band?
