Lyrics
THE SOUND OF A THOUSAND GUITARS
Guitar band down Paradise Street
And the black Cadillac go pink
Blondie Chevrolet go stink
Traffic light is on the wink
People don't know what to think
At a Holiday Hut in Van Nuys
House band looking fully sanitized
But working the blues like forks and knives
Like car trouble throughout their lives
Quality sounds, such a nice surprise
No strings for Leroy
Save your jingles for the hoi polloi
Sell your ditties to the kiddies like disposable toys
Mister Randy Goy meet Miss Amanda Choy
Fifteen months in my employ
In a quiet suburban 'hood
Something so bad I thought nobody could
But if anybody'd do it Mantovani, he would
Unload a violin case on Johnny B. Goode
But I heard he got away and went to Hollywood
In the land of the stars and bars
Souped-up cars and candy hearts
Bebop-a-loopers bubbling under the charts
Fleshtone phones that kiss in the dark
Aluminum alleys where the hitmen park
In the land of the stars and bars
And the sound of a thousand guitars
The sound of a thousand guitars
The sound of a thousand guitars
