Sitting in the stands of the sports arena
Waiting for the show to begin
Red lights, green lights, strawberry wine
A good friend of mine follows the stars
Venus and Mars are alright tonight

[Verse 1]
What's that man holding in his hand?
He looks a lot like a guy I knew way back when
It's Silly Willy with that Philly band
Could be, ooh-ee

[Verse 2]
Tell me, what's that man movin' cross the stage?
It looks a lot like the one used by Jimmy Page
It's like a relic from a different age
Could be, oo-ee

[Chorus]
If there's a rock show at the Concertgebouw
They've got long hair at Madison Square
You've got rock and roll at the Hollywood Bowl
We'll be there, oh yeah

[Bridge]
The lights go down, they're back in town--O.K
Behind the stacks, you glimpse an axe
The tension mounts you score an ounce--ole!
The temperatures rise as you see the whites of their eyes
[Chorus]
If there's a rock show at the Concertgebouw
You've got long hair at Madison Square
They've got rock and roll at the Hollywood Bowl
We'll be there, oh yeah

[Bridge 2]
In my green metal suit, I'm preparing to shoot up the city
And the ring at the end of my nose makes me look rather pretty
It's a pity there's nobody here to witness the end
Save for my dear old friend and confidante, mademoiselle Kitty

[Verse 3]
What's that man moving to and fro?
That decibel meter doesn't seem to be reading low
But they was louder at the Rainbow
Could be, ooh-ee

[Chorus]
If there's a rock show at the Concertgebouw
They've got long hair at Madison Square
You've got rock and roll at the Hollywood Bowl
We'll be there, oh yeah

[Outro]
If there's a rock show at the Concertgebouw
They've got long hair at Madison Square
You've got rock and roll at the Hollywood Bowl
Rock show
Long hair
Rock and roll
If there's a rock show
If there's a rock show
If there's a rock show
