Hooked On Music

Well it was New Years Eve

I was 14 at the time

I was celebratin' 4 AM

With them hoodlum friends of mine

I heard a boy named Elvis Presley

Singin' "That's Alright Mama" on the radio

And it turned me on

I been hooked on music

Hooked on music from that moment on

Well all my friends thought I had one brick less than a load

'Cause I'd stop the car and I'd jump out

And start dancin' in the road

When I heard Jerry Lee Lewis singin'

"Whole lot of shakin' goin' on'"

It turned me on

And I been hooked on music

Hooked on music from that moment on

Wella wella I'd steal them fancy hubcaps

Off them cowboy's pickup trucks

Fender skirts and mudflaps

Anything to make a buck

I'd sell 'em right back to 'em

Out behind the rodeo

Just to make a little money

To treat my little honey

To a rock and roll show

And I hung around that skatin' rink where Buddy Holly played

I could not believe one man could have such fun

And still get paid

When I heard that local DJ playin'

"That'll be the day"

It turned me on 'said turned me on

I been hooked on music

Hooked on music from that moment on

Hey hey

Alright hit it son

Woo hoo hoo hoo

I finally got some tickets to see Elvis live and hot

And my girlfriend almost jumped my bones

Going back to the parking lot

I knew that it was not my great physique, good looks and charm

That left that Texas teenybopper's nailprints in my arm

So I bought myself a guitar and I wrote me a lady's song

And I could change the name to fit my latest flame

And that sucker never came out wrong

I'd sit back and sing it soft and low

Watch 'em as it slowly turned 'em on, I'd turn 'em on

I been hooked on music

Hooked on music from that moment on

Well dee dee dee dee

Dee dee dee dee

Dee dee dee dee

Hooked on music

I been hooked on music

Hooked on music from that moment on
