Lyrics:
1. VENUS AND MARS
Sitting in the stand 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.
2. ROCK SHOW
What that man holding in his hand ?
He looks a lot like a guy I knew way back
When its silly willy with the Philly band
Could be ....... Oo - ee ....
Whats that man movin' cross the stage ?
It looks a lot like the one used by Jimmy Page
Its like a relic from a different age
Could be ....... Oo - ee ....
If there's a ROCK SHOW at the Concertgebow
They've got long hair at the Madison Square
You've got Rock and Roll at the Hollywood
We'll be there .... Oh yeah ....
The lights go down - they're back in town O.K.
Behind the rtacks you glimpse an axe
The tension mounts you score an ounce Ole !
Temperatures rise as you see the white of their eyes
If there's a ROCK SHOW ....
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
Its a pity there's nobody here to witness the end
Save for my dear old friend and confidante - Madamoiselle Kitty
Whats the man movin' to and fro ?
That decibel meter doesn't seem to be reading low.
But they was louder at the Rainbow
Could be ..... Oo - ee ..
Jet! Jet! Jet!
I can almost remember their funny faces
That time you told 'em that you were going to be marrying soon
And Jet,
I thought the only lonely place was on the moon
Jet! Oo Jet! Oo
Jet! Was your father as bold as a sergeant major?
Well how come he told you that you were hardly old enough yet?
And Jet,
I thought the major was a lady suffragette
Jet! Oo Jet! Oo
Ah, mater, want Jet to always love me?
Ah, mater, want Jet to always love me?
Ah, mater, much later
Jet! With the wind in your hair of a thousand laces
Climb on the back and we'll go for a ride in the sky
And Jet,
I thought that the major was a little lady suffragette
Jet! Oo Jet! Oo
And Jet,
You know I thought you was a little lady suffragette
Jet! Oo
A little lady. My little lady, yes!
