Well, we were just another band out of Boston
On the road to try to make ends meet
Playin´ all the bars, sleepin´ in our cars
And we practiced right on out in the street
No, we didn´t have much money

We barely made enough to survive
But when we got up on stage and got ready to play
People came alive.
Rock and roll band
Everybody´s waitin´
Gettin´ crazy
Anticipating love and music
Play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dancin´ in the streets of Hyannis
We were getting pretty good at the game
People stood in line and didn´t seem to mind
You know everybody knew our name
Livin´ on rock-n-roll music
Never worried ´bout the things we were missing
When we got up on the stage and got ready to play
Everybody´d listen.

Rock and roll band
Everybody´s waitin´
Gettin´ crazy
Anticipating love and music
Play, play, play, yeah, yeah
Playin´ for a week in Rhode Island
A man came to the stage one night
He smoked a big cigar
And drove a Cadillac car
And said, "Boys, I think this bands outta-sight
Sign a record company contract
You know I´ve got great expectations
When I hear you on the car radio
You´re gonna be a sensation!"
Rock and roll band
Everybody´s waitin´
Gettin´ crazy
Anticipating love and music

Play, play, play, yeah, yeah
