One Hit Wonder

Each and every year - on the cover of the music trades,

A brand new band appears - and rockets up the hit parade,

And the polls they all predict - their light is gonna shine,

But soon the latest pick to click - is out of sight and out of mind,

And the singer goes solo, leaves 'em in the dust,

The drummer gets drafted and their dream go bust.

Another one-hit wonder - pourin out their hearts,

Another one-hit wonder - flying up and down the charts,

Hot smoke and sassafras sure feels nice,

But this kinda lightening don't strike twice,

So here's to Johnny Thunder,

And all the One-Hit Wonders.

I'll never understand - why the greatest riffs in history,

The flashes in the pan - are the ones that shake our memory,

Though fortunes rise and fall - their music's still alive,

I guess they said it all - in two minutes, 45,

The names go on forever - though some sound kinda strange,

They come and go but rock and roll will never be the same.

Another one-hit wonder - takin center stage,

Another one-hit wonder - turn another page,

Hot smoke and sassafras sure feels nice,

But this kinda lightening don't strike twice,

So here's to Johnny Thunder,

And all the One-Hit Wonders.
