Lyrics
I used to be in a band called Slick Ali Con There was us four and a guy named John We’d hang out all night in the music room People would say what’s that awful boom Then one night, when we were tight You gotta know, we played Roscoe’s Then we famous … famous We’d get together and we would jam Whatever we played was loved by Nancy and Pam We’d play a little Who and the Kinks and Stones And even some new wave like Ramones We were great, Zeke confessed Even Shelley, was impressed Then we famous … famous Now we get together after all these years To play a few tunes and drink some beers We’re having such and the memories are many And Frank and Bill sing better than Jenny But one night, when we were tight You gotta know, we played Roscoe’s Then we famous … famous Now you know the ballad of Slick Ali Con There was us four and a guy named John We’d hang out all night in the music room People would say what’s that awful boom Then one night, when we were tight You gotta know, we played Roscoe’s Then we famous … famous
