So you wanna be a rock and roll star?

Well listen now to what I say

Just get an electric guitar

And take some time

And learn how to play

Just learn how to play



I was down at the New Amsterdam

Just'a starin' at this yellow haired girl

Mr Jones strikes up a conversation

With a black hair flamenco dancer

You know, she dances while his father plays guitar

Shes suddenly beautiful

And we all want something beautiful

And I wish I was beautiful-la la la la



Aw, cut up Maria

Cmon

Show me some of them Spanish dances

And pass me a bottle Mr Jones

Believe in me

C'mon

Help me believe in anything

Cause I wanna be someone who believes



Mr Jones and me

Tell each other fairy tales

We stare at the beautiful women
