We’d travel all over the land,
We’d play and we’d sing and wear spangly things,
If we were a rock ‘n’ roll band,
If we were a rock ‘n’ roll band,
And we were up there on the stand,
The people would hear us and love us and cheer us.
Hurray for that rock ‘n’ roll band,
If we were a rock ‘n’ roll band,
Then we’d have a million fans,
We’d giggle and laugh and sign autographs,
If we were a rock ‘n’ roll band,
If we were a rock ‘n’ roll band,
The people would all kiss our hands,
We’d be millionaires and have extra long hair,
If we were a rock ‘n’ roll band,
But we ain’t no rock ‘n’ roll band,
We’re just seven kids in the sand,
With homemade guitars and pails and jars
And drums of potato chips cans,
Just seven kids in the sand,
Talk’n and waven’ our hands
And dreaming’ and thinking’ oh wouldn’t it be grand,
If we were a rock ‘n’ roll band,
