Rock Song Allusions

They thought he might be a queen Bohemian, yes but not dumb If he wore pink, Floyd didn't care Claiming to be comfortably numb He loved being high as the eagles In a hotel, California style When locked out, though he'd turn purple Haze checked, he'd Jimi it in style He once asked Lynyrd for chicken Who said, "There's no free bird here!" He said start me up some, I'll pay His eyes rolling stones, with no fear! Sometimes he'd come back in black shorts With the AC turned all the way down And he'd carry on, my wayward son Still the pride of this Kansas town! Though his boat burned a deep purple The smoke on the water would fade Killed by a falling Led Zeppelin His Stairway to heaven was laid!
