Legend Of Paul Revere Lyrics - Singles - Paul Revere And The Raiders

In a little town in Idaho 

way back in sixty one 

A man was frying burgers 

gee - it seemed like lots of fun 

But to his friend the bun boy 

he confessed its misery 

I think I'd like to start a group 

so come along with me 

And all youth stations 

accross the nation 

Please play our records 

for your congrecation. 

The band soon started booming 

they were raking in the coin 

They found few new musicians 

and persuaded them to join 

And Paul Revere decided 

since they had such new-found fame 

We need a fancy title 

and The Raiders they became 

And all youth stations .... 

They soon packed up for 

Hollywood 

to read their fortunes there 

But streets aren't really paved with gold 

and you can't live on air 

And then Dick Clark 

approached them 

said I know a thing or two 

I'll put you on a TV show 

and make big stars of you 

And all youth stations ... 

Now thins are going groovy 

and we really can't complain 

thou the pace of rock 'n rolling 

nearly drives us all insane 

Everybody's bushing 

saying give it all you can 

to come to think of it 

our business manager's 

our biggest fan
