If we were a rock 'n' roll band,
We'd travel all over the land.
We'd play and we'd sing and wear spangly things.
If we were a rock 'n' roll band.

If we were a rock 'n' roll band,
And we were up there on the stand,
The people would hear us and love us and cheer us.
Hurray for that rock 'n' roll band.

If we were a rock 'n' roll band,
Then we'd have a million fans.
We'd giggle and laugh and sign autographs,
Maybe if we were a rock 'n' roll band.

If we were a rock 'n' roll band.
The people would all kiss our hands.
We'd be millionaires with extra long hair,
If we were a rock 'n' roll band.

See we just ain't no rock 'n' roll band,
We're just five kids in the sand.
With homemade guitars and pails and jars
And drums made of potato chip cans.

We're just five kids in the sand.
Talk'n and waven' our hands.
And dreamin' and thinkin' oh wouldn't it be grand,
If we were a rock 'n' roll band.

    General Comment:This has been my favorite Shel Silverstien poem for about eight years, and soco has been my favorite band for about three years. I wish I could see these guys play this song.

    General Comment:I'm pretty sure the lyrics are in Shel Silverstein's book, A Light in the Attic. It makes me appreciate Something Corporate even more than I already did because Shel Silverstein is a great childrens poet, very clever, and also a great artist.

    General Comment:yeah i saw them in st louis a couple months back and to see andrew sitting on top of his piano singing this poem from the book was awesome...good to see something original ... not too many bands or singers would've thought to use a simple poem to show what they are all about as a band
