Well we were just another band out of Boston
On the road to try to make ends meet
Playin' all the bars sleepin' in our cars
And we practiced right on out in the street
No we didn't have much money
We barely made enough to survive
But when we got up on stage and got ready to play
People came alive
Rock and roll band
Everybody's waiting
Gettin crazy
Anticipating love and music
Play, play, play, yeah...
Dancin' in the streets of Hyannis
We were getting pretty good at the game
People stood in line and didn't seem to mind
You know everybody knew our name
Livin' on rock 'n roll music
Never worried 'bout the things we were missin'
When we got up on stage and got ready to play
Everybody'd listen
Rock and roll band
Everybody's waiting
Gettin' crazy
Anticipating love and music
Play, play, play
Playin' for a week in Rhode Island
A man came to the stage one night
He smoked a big cigar
And drove a cadillac car
And said boys I think this band's outta sight
Sign the record company contract
You know I've got great expectations
When I hear you on the car radio
You're goin' to be a sensation
Rock and roll band
Everybody's waiting
Gettin' crazy
Anticipating love and music
Play, play, play, yeah yeah
