Lyrics
Original Source:LyricWiki
Well, we were just another band out of Boston
On the road to try to make ends meet
Playin' all the bars, sleepin' in our cars
And we practiced right on out in the street

No, we didn't have much money
We barely made enough to survive
But when we got up on stage and got ready to play
People came alive

Rock and roll band
Everybody's waitin'
Gettin' crazy, anticipating
Love and music
Play, play, play, yeah yeah yeah yeah

Dancin' in the streets of Hyannis
We were gettin' pretty good at the game
People stood in line and didn't seem to mind
You know everybody knew our name

Livin' on rock and roll music
Never worried 'bout the things we were missin'
When we got up on the stage and got ready to play
Everybody'd listen

Rock and roll band
Everybody's waitin'
Gettin' crazy, anticipating
Love and music
Play, play, play, yeah yeah

Playin' for a week in Rhode Island
A man came to the stage one night
He smoked a big cigar and drove a Cadillac car
And said, "Boys, I think this band's outta sight"

Sign the record company contracts
You know I've got great expectations
When I hear you on the car radio
You're gonna be a sensation

Rock and roll band
Everybody's waitin'
Gettin' crazy, anticipating
Love and music
Play, play, play, yeah yeah
