I do the rock - Tim Curry


                              
Edith Sitwell giving readings, 14 Moscow Road
                                  
Osbert's giving champagne parties, Sachie's got a cold
                            
Gertrude's hanging pictures, Alice making tea
                            
Me, I do the only thing that still makes sense to me
                        
I do the Rock,  I do the Rock Rock
                           
John and Yoko farming beef, raising protein quota
                                 
Sometimes they make love and art, inside their Dakota
                               
Rodney's feeling sexy, Mick is really frightfully bold
                              
Me, I do the only thing that stops me growing old
                                                         
I do the Rock,  I do the Rock Rock, I do the Rock Rock Rock
Well, it's stimulating

                           
Solzhenitsyn feels exposed build a barbed-wired prison
                                  
Nietzsche’s six feet under but his babies still got rhythm
                                                         
Einstein's celebrating ten decades but I'm afraid philosophy 
                          
is just too much responsibility for me
                       
I do the Rock, I do the Rock
                         
Baby Ruth and Dizzy Dean, Best and Colin Cowdrey
                         
Little Mo, Virginia Wade, Pistol Pete and O.J.
                                 
I've always like Di Maggio and Rockne's pretty cute you know
                               
I could never whack a ball with such velocity
                                    
I do the Rock, I do the Rock, I do the Rock
It's stimulating - I'm a keen student

                                 
Liz and Dick and Britt and Liza, Jaclyn, Kate and Farah
                              
Meg and Roddy, John Travolta, Governor Brown and Linda
                         
Interview and People Magazine, Miss Rona and the Queen
                                  
It must be really frightful to attract publicity
                               
I do the Rock, Myself, I do the Rock
                         
Carter, Begin and Sadat, Brezhnev, Teng and Castro
                      
everyday negotiate us closer to disastrous
                          
Idi Amin and the Shah, and Al Fatah is quite bizarre
                             
I could never get the hang of ideology
                       
I do the Rock, I do the Rock
