Lyrics Paul Revere & The Raiders

Paul Revere & The Raiders

Legend Of Paul Revere

In a little town in Idaho

way back in sixty one

A man was frying burgers

gee - it seemed like lots of fun

But to his friend the bun boy

he confessed its misery

I think I'd like to start a group

so come along with me

And all youth stations

accross the nation

Please play our records

for your congrecation.

The band soon started booming

they were raking in the coin

They found few new musicians

and persuaded them to join

And Paul Revere decided

since they had such new-found fame

We need a fancy title

and The Raiders they became

And all youth stations ....

They soon packed up for

Hollywood

to read their fortunes there

But streets aren't really paved with gold

and you can't live on air

And then Dick Clark

approached them

said I know a thing or two

I'll put you on a TV show

and make big stars of you

And all youth stations ...

Now thins are going groovy

and we really can't complain

thou the pace of rock 'n rolling

nearly drives us all insane

Everybody's bushing

saying give it all you can

to come to think of it

our business manager's

our biggest fan
