Hooked On Music - Mac Davis

Well it was new years eve I was fourteen at the time

I was celebration 4 am with them hoodlum friends of mine

I heard a boy named Elvis Presley singing «that all right, mama»

on the radio and it turned me on

I been hooked on music, hooked on music from that moment on, heh heh heh

All my friends thought I had one brick less than a load

'Cause I’d stop the car and I jump out and start dancing in the road

When I heard Jerry Lee Lewis singing «whole lot of shaking going on»

and it turned me on

I been hooked on music, hooked on music from that moment on, heh heh heh

I’m stealing fancy hubcaps off them cowboys' pickup trucks

Fender skirts and mud flaps anything to make a buck

I’ll sell 'em right back to 'em out behind the rodeo

Just to make a little money to take my little honey to a rock and roll show

Well I hung around that skating rink where Buddy Holly played

I could not believe one man could have such fun and still get paid

When I heard the local DJ playing, 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, heh heh heh

All give me some

Well, I finally got some tickets to see Elvis live and hot

My girl friend 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

But I’d 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 them on,

I’d turn 'em on

I been hooked on music, hooked on music from that moment on, heh heh heh

Do de de, de de de, de de de, hooked on music, hooked on music

I been hooked on music, hooked on music from that moment on
