Lyrics

I heard my first Van Halen record when I was six years old
I knew right then and there I had to Rock & Roll
I started playing air guitar when I was about 9
And strumming any old thing that I could find
A tennis racket, a hockey stick
The kitchen broom, a frying pan, anything to get my kicks
One day at school the teacher had a talent show
I knew deep in my heart that I would have to go
I played my air guitar in front of the whole class
To my dismay the boys and girls started to laugh
And it hurt me and they cursed me
I was a target to the bully
In the yard they started to push me
And I took it and I shook it
Again, again and again
And again and again
I finally put my hands on the real thing when I was thirteen
It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen
Locked myself in my room every night and day
Pickin' those silver strings I knew I'd found my way
Yeah I played it, yeah I faked it
'Till I made it
Again and again and again
Yeah I showed 'em!
I was playing night clubs by the time I hit sixteen
I thought it was the greatest thing I'd ever seen
There were people dancing everywhere and women all around
I was hanging out with the coolest kids in town
I showed 'em!
Yeah I showed 'em!
Again and again and again
Years went by and one day I met the record man
He told me « Son for you I have a real good plan
I'll make you a star, have a cigar, soon you'll drive a Jaguar
Just sign right here, leave it to me I'll handle your career »
And he wooed me, and he got me
Yeah he made me, then he screwed me
And I fell for it as long as I could play and I did!
Again and again and again and again!
These days you'll find me touring in my beat up car
And coming to your town to play my old guitar
A festival, a dive, a wedding or a wake
When you need the money, man, you take anything that you can take
But don't get me wrong, there's one thing I know
I'm still having fun up here putting on a show
Let me show ya
How much I love to put on a show for ya
Again and again and again
Just let me show ya
Let me show ya
How much I love to put on a show for ya!
