Rock dreams lyrics - The Lemon Twigs song

[Carol:]
Teaching at the school
Feeling like a fool
Tell me what did I do wrong?
Everbody use to love my songs
Now I'm just a teacher mom!

What a big mistake
My taking in an ape
Killed my rock'n'rolling dreams
The boy who loves a big tall trees and me
Well I belong in amity

Maybe I'll play rock
And then I'll play along
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Carol & Bill:]
Wake up the kid
Good morning, it's breakfast
I know how you like your bananas
Quit with the screeching
School's in an hour
While my dreams are dying
You'll be multiplying
You're gonna like your new school!

Shaney doesn't know
That very long ago
When Dad and I were still quite thin
Oh we came upon a baby chimp
Decided that we'd take it in
Forgetting all our dreams
We took him and it seems
We had a little family
For seven hundred bucks a week, I teach
And it pays for all the food Shane eats
And he eats a lot

Maybe I'll play rock
And then I'll play along
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Carol & Bill:]
Wake up the kid
Good morning, it's breakfast
I know you how you like your bananas
Quit with the screeching
School's in an hour
While my dreams are dying
You'll be multiplying
You're gonna like your new school!

[Carol:]
Well it could have been me
Upon the stage
Yeah it could have been me
If it wasn't for the chimp in the cage
Oh it could have been me
Upon the stage
Yeah it could have been me
If it wasn't for the chimp in the cage
Oh it could have been me
Upon the stage
It could have been me
