The Cover of the Rolling Stone.jpg

Dr. Hook - The Cover of The Rolling Stone 1973

Ha ha ha I don't believe it
Da, da, ah, ah don't touch it
Hey, Ray, Hey Sugar tell them who we are

Well, we're big rock singers
We got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go (that sounds like us)
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At ten-thousand dollars a show (right)

We take all kinds of pills that give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we've never known
Is the thrill that'll gitcha when you get your picture
On the cover of the rollin stone

(Rollin stone)
Wanna see my picture on the cover
(Stone)
Wanna buy five copies for my mother (yes)
(Stone.)
Wanna see my smilin face
On the cover of the rollin stone
(that's a very very good idea)

I got a freaky ole lady name a cocaine Katy
Who embroideries on my jeans
I got my poor ole grey haired daddy
Drivin my limosine

Now it's all decided to blow our minds
But our minds won't really be blown
Like the blow that'll gitcha when you get your picture
On the cover of the rollin stone

(Rollin stone)
Wanna see our pictures on the cover
(Stone)
Wanna buy five copies for our mothers (yeah)
(Stone)
Wanna see my smilin face
On the cover of the rollin stone
(talking)
Hey, I know how
Rock and roll.....


Ah, that's beautiful

We got a lot of little teenage blue eyed groupies
Who do anything we say
We got a genu wine Indian Guru
Who's teaching us a better way

We got all the friends that money can buy
So we never have to be alone
And we keep getting richer but we can't get our picture
On the cover of the rollin stone

(Rollin stone)
Wanna see my picture on the cover
(Stone)
Wanna buy five copies for my mother (wa wa)
(Stone)
Wanna see my smilin face
On the cover of the rollin stone
On the cover of the rollin

Stone)
Wanna see my picture on the cover

I don't know why we ain't on the cover, Baby....
(Stone)
Wanna buy five copies for my mother

We're beautiful subjects
(Stone)
Wanna see my smilin face

I ain't kiddin, we would make a beautiful cover
On the cover of the rollin stone

Fresh shot, right up front, Man
I can see it now, we'll be up in the front
Smilin, Man
Ahh, beautiful

I love that song......by the way, when I opened the link the sound of thunder came thru my speakers.....warning maybe? Who knows! Great shot!

LOL, love the image.

Great lyrics, but I'm not familiar with the song so it can't get stuck in my head :o)
Have to agree with Flo about those Wednesday headlines.

Cool shot and idea :))

Very amusingly presented and highly topical!

Rolling Stone needs another photografer, I would say. Great shot for the day, and of course a good old song.

Saw the picture and KNEW it had to be Dr. Hook & the Med. Show! And hoping Obama will be on the front pages next Wed. as our newly elected prez. Great shot, he certainly is skinny as Arnold said at a McCain rally...paler than I thought he'd be. LOL V
