(Hey Punk!)

Hey Punk!

Hey Punk!

(Hey Punk!)

Hey-hey!

(Hey Punk!)

Go man, go… go man, go.

…Soft gun.

Golly, do I ever have a lot of soul?

Punk, I think I love you!

Come on, Roy

Questi dominga?

Let me see that nose, it didn’t…

I wanna know for sure!

Leave my nose alone please!

What are you trying to do?

It’s him over there

Longa!

Tic Tac!

It’s one of the most exciting things that’s ever happened to me

You know, every time I think about how lucky I am to be in the rock &roll

industry, it’s SO exciting.

You know, when I first got into the rock &roll

business I could barely even play the changes to this song on my, on my guitar.

But now I’m very proficient at it, I can play the guitar, I can strum it

rhythmically, I can sing along with my guitar as I strum.

I can strum, sing,

dance, I can make merry fun all over the stage.

And you know, it’s so

wonderful to… It’s wonderful to feel that I’m doing something for the kids,

because I know that the kids and their music are where it’s at.

The youth of America today is so wonderful… And I’m proud to be a part of

this gigantic mass reception.

I hope she sees me twirling, yes…

I hope she sees me dancing and twirling, I will say: «Hello, darling!»

Is the song over?

Boy, this is really exciting, making a rock &roll record.

I can’t even wait

until our record comes out and the teen-agers start to buy it.

We’ll all be

rich and famous!

When my royalty check comes I think I’m going to buy a Mustang.

No, I think I’ll… I think I’ll get a Corvette.

No, I think I’ll get a Harley

Davidson.

No, I don’t think I’ll buy any of those cars.

I think what I will do

is I will buy a boat.

No, I won’t do that either.

I think, ah, I’ll go into

real estate.

I think I would like to… I think I’d like to buy La Cienega

Boulevard.

No, that wouldn’t do any good.

Gee, I wonder if they can see me up

here, twirling my tambourine and dancing…

Maybe after the show one of the girls who sees me up here, singing and twirling

my tambourine and dancing, will like me.

And she will come over to me and I

will walk… I will walk up to her and I will smile at her and I will impress

her and I will say: «Hello, baby, what’s a girl like you doing in a place like

this?

I’m from a rock &roll band, I think we should… «Is the song over?

Ay, ay!

Mingia!

When do we get paid for this?

Ay, ay!

Stop sloppy rock &roll

Slop sloppy…

One more time!

Un…

Stop sloppy rock &roll

Bop bop bop!

YEAH!

WHEEE!
