It was the song where they kicked that guy
Out of the band
They said get your shit
Out of the van
Nobody even thought to
Give him a hand
It was the song where they kicked that guy
Out of the band

Middle of the chorus
Out of the band
We ain’t no rock dinosaurus
Get out of the band
He didn’t get no solo
Out of the band
He walked like Quasimodo
Out of the band

It was the seventeenth gig
On the seventeenth night
Never did learn it
Never got it right
Just kept on trying to
Nail the same song
But every time he played it
It sounded wrong

It was the song where they kicked that guy
Out of the band
They said get your shit
Out of the van
He was backstage crying
He hid in the can
The night they kicked that guy
Out of the band

In the middle of the chorus
Out of the band
We ain’t no rock dinosaurus
Get out of the band
He didn’t get no solo
Out of the band
He walked like Quasimodo
Get out of the band

Then the crowd started screaming
Play it again
The band thought it was dreaming
Hey play it again
Never heard such a reaction
Hey play it again
So they repeated the action
They played it again and again and again

Every time you see them
They’re playing that song
Don’t know how it got so bad
They’re playing it wrong
They can’t get no reaction
Unless they admit
That the rest of their music
Is nothing but shit
