Well, we were just another band out of Boston   On the road and tryin' to make ends meet   Playin' out of bars, sleepin' in our cars   And we practiced right out in the street   No, we didn't have much money   We barely made enough to survive   But when we got up on stage, and got ready to play   people came alive      Chorus:   Rock and roll band everybody's waitin'   Gettin' Crazy, anticipatin'   Love, and music, play, play, play, yea, yea, yea, yea      Dancin' in the streets of Hyannis   We were getting pretty good at the game   People stood in line and didn't seem to mind   You know everybody knew our name   Livin' on rock and roll music   Never worried 'bout the things    we were missin'   When we got up on stage   and got ready to play   everybody'd listen      Repeat Chorus      Playin' for a week in Rhode Island    A man came to the stage one night   He smoked a big cigar,   drove a Cadillac car and said,   "Boys, I think this band's outtasight;    sign a record company contract! You   know I've got great expectations!    When I hear you on the car radio   you're gonna be a sensation!"      Repeat Chorus
