My Rock and Roll Lessons

When Jimi Hendrix died I started sleeping on my side I didn't want to drown in my own vomit When Momma Cass passed chewing a ham and a cheese I said "Dear Lord don't let that happen to me" I don't want to die no embarrassing death I wanna be dignified when I take my last breath When Elvis Presly left us I thought "What a fool" so now I don't try too hard and I never strain at stool Steve Marriot got dead when he passed out while smoking in his bed so now if I get wasted if that's the rub when I want to smoke a cigarette I get in the bath tub 'cause I don't wanna die no embarassing death I want to be dignified when I take my last breath
