Hiya folks!



Alright, heres the deal,

This is our last show here in london

But theyre still gonna...give you their all

I want to introduce you to the members of the rockin teen-age

Combo and tell you which ones are sick and what theyve got

Our dynamic male vocalist

Hes got a soar throat

And all sorts of other things are wrong with him

Hell never be able to get through this show

The only thing hes got to take care of is his knitted hat



And of course tommy mars,

Who also has stomach-flu, on keyboards

Do you have any other diseases tommy?

No? hes available! ok!



Ed mann on percussion

Ed is still healthy

Except, and he told me this backstage,

Except for his mental health

You have to expect these things in this kind of a group
