Jimi Hendrix, Beatle John

Mercury and Moon are gone

Mr. Bolan, Brian Jones

What a shit you're dead and bones

A-you’re all in Dead Rock U.K., bye-bye

A-you’re all in Dead Rock U.K., bye-bye

Yeah

Dead Rock U.K

Dead Rock U.K

I see you got your picture in the hall of fame

But you better watch out while your playing that game, oh no, no-no-no

Fame, wealth, power and the love with the girls

Can reveal a joker in the deck of the world, oh no

(Dead Rock U.K.)

Now Beatle John, your life is gone

The gun that got a fate

Your lying eyes and canonised up

With the good and great

But I guess you hate

Now Jimi Hendrix, Beatle John

Mercury and Moon are gone, oh no

(Bye, bye, bye, bye)

Yeah, Mr. Bolan, Brian Jones

What a shit you're dead and bones, oh no

(Bye-bye, bye-bye)

Oh no, no, no

(Bye-bye, bye-bye)

Well I see you did a living and you’re having a ball

If you gotta play Peter then you gotta play Paul, oh no

(Dead Rock U.K.)

I see that your religion is living on the edge

There were times in your life you were better off dead, oh no

(Dead Rock U.K.)

Now Major Fred your engines dead

In death you were the mostest

Now penalised, idealised

Became the holy ghostest

With the mostest

Now Jimi Hendrix, Beatle John

Mercury and Moon are gone, oh no

(Bye-bye, bye-bye)

Yeah, son of Harry, goo-goo g’joob

How I like to talk to you, oh no

(Bye-bye, bye-bye)

Oh no, no, no

(Bye-bye, bye-bye)

You’re all in Dead Rock U.K., bye-bye

(Dead Rock U.K.)

You’re all in Dead Rock U.K., bye-bye

(Dead Rock U.K.)

Jimi came to Britain and he formed a band

And he made it and died in this promised land, bye-bye

(Bye-bye, bye-bye)

There must be something missing and the need to fly high

You need another fix just to help you get by, bye-bye

Yeah, but all you guys are in the skies

Too young and laid to rest

But in your lives you realise

The devils tuned to best

Will he stand the test?

Now goodbye Jimi, goodbye John

Bonzo Bonham dead and gone, oh no

(Bye-bye, bye-bye)

Yeah, Philip Lynott, Strumming Joe

Son of Harry, gone too young, bye-bye

(Bye-bye, bye-bye)

Oh, bye, bye, bye

(Bye-bye, bye-bye)

You’re all in Dead Rock U.K., bye-bye

Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye

You’re all in Dead Rock U.K., bye-bye

Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye

You’re all in a Dead Rock U.K., Dead Rock U.K

Yeah, bye-bye, yeah, bye-bye-bye

You play to God (Dead Rock), you play to God, (U.K.)

You’re all in a Dead Rock U.K., a Dead Rock U.K

Yeah (Dead Rock U.K.)

See you later guys
