You know there's been a lot of flabber-jabber going around lately
N.C.
About Rock and Roll versus the good old tunes of yesteryear
N.C.
But you know, the two of us, we've never been able to make such distinguishments
N.C.
I like that word Lenny. Thank you very much I knew you would
N.C.
Now we always feel no matter what music is or what you call it as long as it makes you feel good
N.C.
You know what I mean? I know just what you mean. Let's feel good.
