So I took my [[negotiable cow]] <br> | |||
And I cashed it against the wall <br> | |||
I cashed it against the floor <br> | |||
I cashed it againt the body of a varsity cheerleader <br> | |||
Cashed it against the hood of a car <br> | |||
Cashed it against a 1981 Harley-Davidson <br> | |||
And I ran upstairs to my parents bedroom <br> | |||
Mommy and Daddy were sleeping quietly in the moonlight | |||
Slowly I opened the door <br> | |||
Creeping into the shadows right up to the foot of their bed | |||
I raised my [[negotiable instrument]] high above my head | |||
And just as I was about to bring it crashing down | |||
My father woke up, screaming “STOP!!” | |||
“Wait a minute! Stop it, boy! What do you think you’re ''doing''?” | |||
“That’s no way to treat an expensive [[negotiable instrument]]!” | |||
And I said, “God ''damn'' it Daddy — you ''know'' I love you,” | |||
“But you've got a ''hell'' of a lot to learn about Rock ’n’ Roll!” | |||
