Help i'm a rock, help i'm a rock, help i'm a rock!

Ahahahahahahaaa

Help i'm a rock, help i'm a rock, help i'm a rock!

Somebody, please, please!

Help i'm a rock, help i'm a rock...

Wow man, it's a drag being a rock

Help i'm a rock...

I wish i was anything but a rock

Heck, i'd even like to be a policeman

Hey, you know what, you know maybe if i practised, you know

Maybe if i passed my driving test

I could get a gig drivin' that bus and pick some freaks up

In front of ben franks, right!



Help i'm a cop, help i'm a cop, help i'm a cop!

(help i'm a rock...), help i'm a cop, help i'm a cop!

It's a drag being a cop, i think i'd rather be the mayor

Always wondered what i was gonna be when i grew up, you know

Always wondered whether or not, whether or not i could make it,

You know, in society, because,

You know, it's a drag when you're rejected

So i tore the cover off a book of matches and i sent in

And i got this letter back that said, uhu, aha



It can't happen here

I'm telling you, my dear

That it can't happen here

Because i been checkin' it out, baby

I checked it out a couple a times, hmmmmmmmm

And i'm telling you

Oh darling, it's important that you believe me

(bop bop bop bop)

That it can't happen here
