Alright, rock 'n' roll music don't need to be such a drag

Way out in the desert in the Arizona sun
Two crazy ladies men made their own kind of fun
Looking at the people at the highway, then
Shooting bows and arrows like it ain't no thing
Deep down south, get with it dad
I'm talking about the great Doo Rag

I've heard the blues in a suspicious way
Down at the Junket that's where Thermos would play
Everything homemade you should have heard them sing
Through a vacuum cleaner, man they were kings
They were kings everybody living in my lifetime
