Rock n' Roll Russ

Rock n' Roll Russ
Grew up and got married
Rock n' Roll Russ
He's got Beamers a boy and a girl
Rock n' Roll Russ
Turned his back on California
Just thinking about it
Makes me want to hurl

Because he was a record store regular
He owned ever album in the top ten
He had those hamsters and the water bed
He had his own special Zen

Rock n' Roll Russ
He was the life of every party
When Russell spoke
People listened to what he'd say
Rock n' Roll Russ
He was a light and inspiration
He made me
The man I am today

Understand that he was a record store regular
He owned ever album in the top ten
Backstage passes and autographs
He had his own special Zen

Rock n' Roll Russ
Gonna pay back my debt of honor
Rock n' Roll Russ
Gonna make him the man that he was
Rock n' Roll Russ
Gonna win back his Studebaker
And this time he'll have a natural buzz

And one day we'll be a record store regular
We'll practical write every album in the top ten
We'll feed the goldfish in the waterbed
Acquiring our own special Zen

Someday you can be a record store regular
When you can name every album in the top ten
See the light and inspiration
And acquire your own special Zen
