The Cover of the Rolling Stone

Shel Silverstein / Dr. Hook & the Medivine Show (1972)

	Well we're big rock singers, we got golden fingers and we're loved everywhere we	go.

	D
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth at ten thousand dollars a	show.

	D7	G
We take all kinda pills to give us all kinda thrills but the	thrill we've never	known,

	A7	D
Is the	thrill that'll getcha when you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling	Stone.

I got a freaky old lady named Cocaine Katy who embroiders all my jeans.

I got my poor old gray-haired daddy, drivin' my limosine.

It's all designed to blow our minds but our minds won't really get blown,

like the blow that'll getcha when you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone.

We gotta lotta little teenage blue eyed groupies, who'll do anything we say.

We got a genuine Indian Guru, he's teachin' us a better way.

We got all the friends that money can buy so we'll never have to be alone.

And we keep gettin' richer but we can't get our picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone.

	Wanna see my smilin' face on the	cover of the Rolling	Stone.
