born to boogie a tribute to marc bolan

Rod Stewart

What you got?
Born to boogie

He stood five-foot-four
But was a giant of his generation
Just an East End kid
Who became a rock n roll sensation
A dandy and a superstar
Who led a sexual revolution
Now when he played guitar
He was a rock god, babyface assassin
He wore a black bowler hat
and a jacket made of cherry red satin
He was a hero of mine
That s why I wrote a song about him

Bang a Gong, Get It On, I Love to Boogie
Telegram Sam, Twentieth Century Boy
Ride a White Swan
and Children of the Revolution, revolution

Now when the lights go down and all the crowd is swaying
Then he starts up Jeepster, all the girls are screaming
Wow, they re screaming all right
If you ever saw this guy
then you ll know just what I m singing
Oh, Lord
Now when I die, I ll be rocking up in Heaven
beside him (Heaven beside him)
We ll play a twelve part blues
See if all God s children got the rhythm (Got the rhythm)
The little maestro was a genius
That s why I wanna sing about him (Sing about him)

Bang a Gong, Get It On, I Love to Boogie
Telegram Sam, Twentieth Century Boy
Ride a White Swan
and Children of the, of the Revolution, people

Bang a Gong, Get It On, I Love to Boogie
Telegram Sam, Twentieth Century Boy
Ride a White Swan and Children of the Revolution
I love to boogie
I love to boogie
Oh my, he could boogie-woogie-woogie
What a man, what a guy, what a star
Marc the genius
