lyrics

Death by misadventure, the Bonnie little Scott,
whiskey was his maiden, he slept with her a lot.
He loved her on the stage, he downed her in the bar,
he pounded her all night, then passed out in his car.

It’s a long way to the top, but not so far to fall,
When you’re drinking like a fish, and then you lose it all.
The original punk rock piper, he showed us all the way,
He was on a highway to hell, hell’s bells now he’ll play.

Neck deep in naughty knickers, the rock & roll life,
He never settled down, had no time for a wife.
The thundering guitars, of the brothers Young,
Lurid innuendos were the songs that Bon sung.

CHORUS

A whole lotta Rosie, shook him all night long,
He put his love into her, then he wrote a song.
A tattooed little lion, dirty deeds done dirt cheap,
We once were thunderstruck, now there’s not a peep.

So let there be rock, he’ll be back in black,
Singing who made who, and she’s got the jack.
Time to shoot to thrill with a stick of T.N.T.
He’ll walk all over you, do you think you’re really ready?

CHORUS

Bon was the night prowler, lover from down under,
AC/DC has struck us, with their Ozzie thunder,
Fronted by the man, little leering piper,
Bon was a killer, deadly as a viper.

Rock & roll ain’t noise pollution, shot down in flames,
Hell ain’t a bad place to be, for whiskey drinking games.
The High voltage girl’s got rhythm, so have a drink on me,
We’ve got the biggest balls that you’re ever going to see.

CHORUS
