Letra de
The Cover Of The Rolling Stone

La canción Cover of the Rolling Stone fue escrita por Shel Silverstein y grabada por Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show. La canción satiriza la idea de que aparecer en la portada de la revista Rolling Stone era el pináculo del éxito para un artista de rock. La letra habla sobre los excesos del estilo de vida del rock n roll y el deseo de alcanzar una gran fama.

Well, we're big rock singers
we've got golden fingers
and we're loved everywhere we go
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
at ten thousand dollars a show
We take all kind of pills
but the thrill we've never known,
is the thrill that'll gitcha
when you get your picture
on the cover of the Rolling Stone

Rolling Stone
wanna see my picture on the cover (Stone )
wanna buy five copies for my mother (Stone )
wanna see my smilin' face
on the cover of the Rolling Stone

I got a freaky old lady
name o' Cocaine Katy
who embroideries on my jeans,
I got my poor old gray-haired Daddy,
drivin' my limousine
Now it's all designed
but our minds won't really be blown,
like the blow that'll gitcha
when you get your picture
on the cover of the Rolling Stone

Rolling Stone
wanna see my pictures on the cover (Stone )
wanna buy five copies for our mothers (Stone )
wanna see my smilin' face
on the cover of the Rolling Stone


We got a lot of
little teenage, blue-eyed groupies
who do anything we say
We got a genuine Indian guru,
who's teachin' us a better way
We got all the friends
so we never have to be alone,
and we keep gettin' richer,
but we can't get our picture
on the cover of the Rolling Stone

Rolling Stone
wanna see my picture on the cover (Stone )
wanna buy five copies for my mother (Stone )
wanna see my smilin' face
on the cover of the Rolling Stone

On the cover of the Rolling (Stone )
wanna see my picture on the cover (Stone )
wanna buy five copies for my mother (Stone )
wanna see my smilin' face
on the cover of the Rolling Stone
