Eddie Cochran took it as a compliment
You ain't nobody's version of the Gene Vincent
The Beatles never worried for a lone instant
If people would be saying they were not intent
On hearing Presley Charles or Orbison Lament
They stole my sound and never
Paid me one red cent
If flattery is bowering a phrase or two
Then stealing sounds and styles is really nothing new
Cro-magnon took the back beat from neanderthal
Nebuchadnezzar jammed at israel's fall
The only thing that's new was surely old last week
So clean out your head girl come on and take a peek
At brasileiro rock n' rolla
Brasileiro rock n' rolla
Brasileiro rock n' rolla
Brasileiro rock n' rolla
The Stones had, Little Richard and Bo Diddley too
Muddy Wolf and BB led to Jerry, dude
Inspiration came from somewhere for their daily bread
Like when Hendrix covered "Watchtower" they said Bob's dead
Duane Allman and his brother kept blues rock alive
T Rex is just Chuck Berry in disguise
Brasileiro rock n' rolla
Brasileiro rock n' rolla
Brasileiro rock n' rolla
Brasileiro rock n' rolla
Larry Williams had the case of the boogie woogie flu
Led Zeppelin took that old sound into something new
And Morrison he opened all those doors for you
Ricky Nelson and the everly's were none too crude
So come on clean your head gear girl you're gonna freak
What's now pa**é will be consider chic next week
Brasileiro rock n' rolla
Brasileiro rock n' rolla
Brasileiro rock n' rolla
Brasileiro rock n' rolla
