Hooked On Music

Well, it was New Years Eve I was fourteen at the time

I heard a boy named Elvis Presley

Singing “That’s Alright Mama” on the radio and it turned me on

I been hooked on music, hooked on music from that moment on

Well, all my friends thought I had one brick less than a load

When I heard Jerry Lee Lewis singing

“Whole Lot of Shaking Going On” it turned me on

And I been hooked on music hooked on music from that moment on

Wella I’d steal them fancy hubcaps

Off them cowboy’s pickup trucks fender skirts and mud-flaps

Anything to make a buck I’d sell ’em right back to ’em

Out behind the rodeo just to make a little money

To treat my little honey to a rock and roll show

And I hung around that skating rink where Buddy Holly played

then I heard that local DJ playing

That’ll Be The Day it turned me on said turned me on

I been hooked on music, hooked on music from that moment on

Well, I finally got some tickets to see Elvis live and hot

And my girlfriend almost jumped my bones going back to the parking lot

I knew that it was not my great physique good looks and charm

That left that Texas teenybopper’s nail-prints in my arm

So I bought myself a guitar and I wrote me a lady’s song

I’d sit back and sing it soft and low

Watch ’em as it slowly turned ’em on I’d turn ’em on

I been hooked on music, hooked on music from that moment on

I been hooked on music hooked on music from that moment on
