Na na na Lyrics

When i was a kid my old man said to me:
"When you grow up, son, what cha gonna be?
You gonna go to school and get a degree?
Or you gonna go to work in a factory?"

I said: "Nanana ...
I know what i want and i know what i can
And i wanna get a job in a rock'n roll band"

Well, the man at the desk said: "I know how you feel
But how d'ya like a job fixing automobiles
Your card says you got no musical training"
I said: "Hey, look man, you just don't get my meaning

I don't wanna be no guitar star
And the man on the piano works too damn hard
And the bass man he don't cop for no glamour
I wanna be the man with the fifty pound hammer going"

Nanana ...

I know you get your kicks playing Hendrix licks
You're a wizard of Wembley Central
You're the J. S. Bach of Belsize parl
And me i'm just plain metal

But when i play my boogie when i play my blues
It's like a whole tank regiment on the move
You can play the notes and you can tell the story
Me, i'll just settle for the power and the glory!

Nanana ...
