Rodney lyrics

Rodney
Bing-en-heimer
[Rodney Bingenheimer]
Hi what's happening, want a sip on my diet rite?
I got a fizzy one, doesn't fizz enough
I live in a small town, up north called Mountain View
And I was the only person who looked cool-I look like now, five years ago
And they weren't ready for it in the town so I came to Hollywood and met other long haired, boys and girls and I happened to not know them
Sonny and Cher invited me to a lot of recording sessions
I started out with them they give me money I ate, food and drunk a lot of diet rites
And uh, moved around and I finally settled down and hyped myself to where I am today
[The GTOs]
We have a friend named Rodney Bingenheimer
He has a Dutch boy haircut and he's five feet three
He lives down the street from Hullabaloo
And he doubles for Davy Jones
And he got beaten up by Brian Jones
Rodney
Bing-en-heimer
[Rodney Bingenheimer]
Oh well one time someone in a very famous group
I want to take his picture and he said "Blank off"
And I said "You can't talk to me like that I'm Rodney, so blank you"
And he goes "What" boom he hit me
And um, and everyone says
"You hit Rodney you can't hit Rodney apologize to him"
So he apologized to me and took me to his recording session the next night
[The GTOs]
He's so amazing you should see his walk
It just screams "Get in there with the popstars!"
[Rodney Bingenheimer]
I got laid every day for one week solid
Because George Harrison and I were pictured together
In the May issue of Tiger Beat Magazine
And I had teenage girls at my doorstep, I had teenage girls, in front
I had teenage girls everywhere and all I did was went next next next
Just like that
[The GTOs]
Let me in, let me in
I'm with one of the Vanilla Fudge
[Rodney Bingenheimer]
I know Sonny and Cher
I meditated with George Harrison
The Hollies are my best friends
And I ate lunch with Grace Slick yesterday
Beep, you can borrow Ringo Starr if you borrow me first
I'm a much better [?] because he's had so much
I-I haven't has much as he did so I'm better
[The GTOs]
Ringo Starr! Oh (he has long hair) (he's one of the Beatles!) oh my! (he's a cancer) oh my gosh, oh if I could ever oh (oh he's so quirky) Ringo Starr!! Aah! (oh Ringo Starr!) (god Ringo Starr I've never saw him) Ringo!! Ohh! Woahh (oh my baby girl!) (Ringo Starr!) (how can he believe me, Ringo Starr) Ringo Starr! He's Paul McCartney's friend
Gee I'm getting sweaty armpits
Isn't it fun? yeah
Rod-rodney
We see you at Wallichs and down at The Ranch Market
Waiting for popstars to casually stroll by
Oh, Rodney, if you introduce me to Mick Jagger
I'll let you meet my little sister
She's only twelve years old
