Footstomp - Jet Harris, Tony Meehan

Away to the corner to buy myself a limosine

I stopped outside the doorway to listen to the record machine

The tune that they were playing was going through my head

But now I’ve heard that tune so much I wish that I was dead

Footstomp, Footstomp, Footstomp, Footstomp

Some folks take delight in watching a TV show

So I sat down in my easy chair and turned on Channel 4

It hit me then before I had time to get up and run away

There was a rock and roll band singing out that Footstomp’s here to stay

Footstomp, Footstomp, Footstomp, Footstomp

(Saxophone solo)

I hate to be the kind of guy who always has to complain

But every time I turn my radio, on it just don’t ever change

Rock and roll is quite all right, but in fact I like the sound

But if I hear that song again I’ll lay my body down

Footstomp, Footstomp, Footstomp, Footstomp
