Title: Help, I'm a rock

----------------------------------



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

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

It can't happen here

Oh darling, it's important that you believe me

(Bop bop bop bop)

That it can't happen here 



Who could imagine that they would freak out somewhere in Kansas...

Kansas Kansas tototototodo

Kansas Kansas tototototodo

Who could imagine that they would freak out in Minnesota...

Mimimimimimimi Minnesota, Minnesota, Minnesota

Who could imagine... 



Who could imagine

That they would freak out in Washington, D.C.

D.C. D.C. D.C. D.C. D.C.

It can't happen here

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

It can't happen here

It can't happen here

Everybody's safe and it can't happen here

No freaks for us

It can't happen here

Everybody's clean and it can't happen here

No, no, it won't happen here

I'm telling you it can't

It won't happen here

(Bop bop didi bop didi bop bop bop)

Plastic folks, you know

It won't happen here

You're safe, mama

You're safe, baby

You just cook a TV dinner

And you make it

(Bop bop bop)

No no no no

Oh, we're gonna get a TV dinner and cook it up

Go get a TV dinner and cook it up

Cook it up

Oh, and it won't happen here

(No no no no no no no no no no no

Man you guys are really safe

Everything's cool).

Who could imagine

Who could imagine

That they would freak out in the suburbs!

And they thought it couldn't happen here

They knew it couldn't happen here

They were so sure it couldn't happen here

But...

Yes yes yes--I've always felt that

Yes I agree man, it really makes it...yeah...

It's a real THING, man

And it really makes it

(Makes it)

And we've been, we've been very interested

In your development.

Forget it!
