Karaoké All the Way from Memphis Mott the Hoople

Forgot my six-string razor

Hit the sky

Half way to Memphis 'fore I realized

Well I rang the information

My axe was cold

They said she rides the train to Oreoles

Now it's a mighty long way down the dusty trail and the sun burns hot on the cold steel rails

And I look like a bum and I crawl like a snail

All the way from Memphis

Well I got to Oreoles you know

It took a month

And there was my guitar

Electric junk

Some spade said Rock 'n' rollers

You're all the same

Man that's your instrument

I felt so ashamed ha ha

Now it's a mighty long way down rock 'n' roll

Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles

And you look like a star but you're still on the dole

All the way from Memphis

Yeah yeah yeah

Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock 'n' roll

From the Liverpool docks to the Hollywood Bowl

And you climb up the mountains and you fall down the holes

All the way from Memphis

Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock 'n' roll

As your name gets hot so your heart grows cold

And you gotta stay young man

You can never be old

All the way from Memphis

Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock 'n' roll

Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles

And you look like a star but you're really out on parole

All the way from Memphis
