Tism - The Ballad of John Bonham's Coke Roadie lyrics

rate me

There's nothing on T.V. but a thing

Called Scarecrow and Mrs. King.

You sit and watch it while your wife

Becomes the play thing of another man's life:

It don't bother me, I'm a toady -

I'm John Bonham's coke roadie.

Your life is totally out of step,

But so what? - I'm with the Zep;

I don't wash dishes or pay the rent -

I just depend on John getting bent:

It don't bother me, I'm a toady -

I'm John Bonham's coke roadie.

It's amazing what goes through your brain

As I frantically sweep the little grains:

Think of fidelity! Think of the fools!

Marriage destroys you - stick to drum stools.

It don't bother me, I'm a toady -

I'm John Bonham's coke roadie.

We tour through cities; I see life -

And someone is next to your wife;

The only thing that can't be canned

Is scrambling under the high hat stand:

It don't bother me, I'm a toady -

I'm John Bonham's coke roadie.
