Venus And Mars/Rockshow

PAUL McCARTNEY

Lyrics

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
Follows the stars –
Venus and Mars 
are alright tonight

What’s that man holding in his hand?
He looks a lot like a guy I knew way back when
It’s silly willy with the Philly band
Could be….. Oo-ee….. 
Tell me, what’s that man movin’ cross the stage?
It looks a lot like the one used by Jimmy Page
It’s like a relic from a different age
Could be….. Oo-ee….. 

If there’s a ROCK SHOW
at the Concertgebouw
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…

We’re going to the…

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
It’s a pity there’s nobody here
to witness the end. . . . . 
Save for my dear old friend and confidante
Mademoiselle 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 Concertgebouw
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…….. [Repeat]
