[Verse 1: Paul Durcan]
Justin, gentler than a man
I am down on my knees
At the wireless knobs
I am down on my knees
At those wireless knobs
Telefunken, Telefunken
And I'm searching for
Luxembourg, Luxembourg
Athlone, Budapest, AFN
Hilversum, Helvetia
In the days before rock 'n' roll

[Chorus: Van Morrison, Van Morrison & Georgie Fame]
In the days before rock 'n' roll
In the days before rock 'n' roll
When we let, then we bet
On Lester Piggott when we met
We let the goldfish go
In the days before rock 'n' roll

[Verse 2: Paul Durcan]
Fats
Fats did not come in
Without those wireless knobs
Fats did not come in
Without those wireless knobs
Elvis did not come in
Without those wireless knobs
Nor Fats, nor Elvis
Nor Sonny, nor Lightning
Nor Muddy, nor John Lee
[Chorus: Van Morrison, Van Morrison & Georgie Fame]
In the days before rock 'n' roll
In the days before rock 'n' roll
When we let and we bet
On Lester Piggott ten to one
And we let the goldfish go
Down the stream
Before rock 'n' roll

[Verse 3: Van Morrison]
We went over the wavebands
(Ssss, ssss, ssss, ssss)
We'd get Luxembourg
Luxembourg and Athlone
AFN Stars of Jazz
Come in, come in, come in, Ray Charles
Come in, the high priest

[Chorus: Van Morrison, Van Morrison & Georgie Fame]
In the days before rock 'n' roll
In the days before rock 'n' roll
When we let and we bet
On Lester Piggott ten to one
And we let the goldfish go

[Verse 4: Van Morrison]
And then the, and then, and then, and then, and then
Then the Killer came along, the Killer
Killer, Jerry Lee Lewis
"Sure A Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On"
"Great Balls of Fire"
Little Richard
[Outro: Paul Durcan, Van Morrison]
Justin, gentler than a man
Justin, Justin, where is Justin now?
What's Justin doing now?
Just where is Justin now?
Come aboard
You certainly got a lot of beautiful things in there Van
