The Rise and Fall of the Worlds Greatest Air Rock Band
As I step through the door
Of my office - Doughnuts Galore
Mildred from behind the counter nods her head at me
I come here every day for a few
Jelly doughnuts and nasty brew
Looking for the perfect job that keeps eluding me
I again pick up the daily rag
Scouring the classified ads
Hoping to find something interesting I see
My bladder lets lose
At the greatest of news
In Black and White Bold Type face do I read
Wanted lead guitarist in
An up and coming Air Rock Band
Mildred comes and picks me up off the floor
I went and applied for the job
And with a wink and a nod
They said your exactly what we're looking for
We practice day and night
Hitting all the notes right
Till our Air Rock Band was ready for tour
The crowds we all wowed
As we brought down every house
In venues we played up and down the Eastern shore
From top forty pop
To industrial techno rock
There wasn't a song we couldn't toast
We even threw a few polkas in
Sounding sweeter than sin
Cause Brian the drummer likes polka the most
We finally hit the big time
When we went nation wide
The Greatest Air Rock Band the worlds ever known
But as fast as we went to the top
That's just as fast as we dropped
Dead air was all you heard from us on the radio
