Rock Dreams

Teaching at the school

Feeling like a fool

Tell me what did I do wrong?

Everbody use to love my songs

Now I'm just a teacher mom!

What a big mistake

My taking in an ape

Killed my rock'n'rolling dreams

The boy who loves a big tall trees and me

Well I belong in amity

Maybe I'll play rock

And then I'll play along

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Wake up the kid

Good morning, it's breakfast

I know how you like your bananas

Quit with the screeching

School's in an hour

While my dreams are dying

You'll be multiplying

You're gonna like your new school!

Shaney doesn't know

That very long ago

When Dad and I were still quite thin

Oh we came upon a baby chimp

Decided that we'd take it in

Forgetting all our dreams

We took him and it seems

We had a little family

For seven hundred bucks a week, I teach

And it pays for all the food Shane eats

And he eats a lot

Maybe I'll play rock

And then I'll play along

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Wake up the kid

Good morning, it's breakfast

I know you how you like your bananas

Quit with the screeching

School's in an hour

While my dreams are dying

You'll be multiplying

You're gonna like your new school!

Well it could have been me

Upon the stage

Yeah it could have been me

If it wasn't for the chimp in the cage

Oh it could have been me

Upon the stage

Yeah it could have been me

If it wasn't for the chimp in the cage

Oh it could have been me

Upon the stage

It could have been me
