Battle of the Bands

Everyone was counting on The Five By Five
But the gate was open when the Glass Menagerie came alive
A singer for the Shadows played four thirty after school
And the Red (something) was rocking but they breaking all the rules
It was a parking lot party for the local music fan
And they were taking no prisoners at the Battle of the Bands
The Bar Fish broke the Red Kettle in two
Tom and the Cats were playing the Summertime Blues
Mouse and the Traps were playing just can't win
And my goodness Johnny Greene and the Green Men
It was a parking lot party for the local music fan
They were taking no prisoners at the battle of the bands
Well NAPA was king and the union was strong
Just crossed the river where the neon shown
Sweet sweet summer couldn't last too long, couldn't last too long, yeah
The Road Show played the best set I'd ever seen
And the Pace Sitters had a kid barely 13
Well the Fox Superbeatle and a red hurricane
Singing C C Rider (something) in the chain
Sounded pretty fine to the local music fan
Y'all don't take no prisoners at the battle of the bands
Hey, don't take no prisoners at the battle of the bands
They were takin' no prisoners at the battle of the bands
