  • Sitting in the stand of the sports arena
    Waiting for the show to begin
    Red lights, green lights, strawberry wine
    A good friend of mine, follow the stars
    Venus and Mars
    Are alright tonight

    What's that man holding in his hands?
    He looks a lot like a guy I knew way back when
    Its silly willy with the Philly band
    Could be...... Oo-ee.........

    If there's a Rock Show
    At the Concertgebow
    They've got long hair
    At the Madison Square
    You've got Rock and Roll
    At the Hollywood Bowl
    We'll be there.......... Oh yeah.........

    The lighst go down - they're back in town O.K.
    Behind the stacks you glimpse an axe
    The tension mounts you score an ounce Ole!
    Temperatures rise as you see the white of their eyes

    If there's a Rock Show.........

    In my green metal suit I'm preparing to shoot up the City
    And the ring at the end of my nose makes me look rather pretty
    Its a pity there's nobody here to witness the end
    Save for my dear old friend and confidante - Madamoiselle Kitty

    what's that man movin' to and fro?
    That decibel meter doesn't seem to be reading low
    But they was louder at the Rainbow
    Could be.......... Oo-ee..........

    If there's a Rock Show
    At the Concertgebow
    They've got long hair
    At the Madison Square
    You've got Rock and Roll
    At the Hollywood Bowl
    We'll be there.......... Oh yeah.........

    If there's a Rock Show......

    If there's a Rock Show......

    If there's a Rock Show...... Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
