Letra de
The Cover Of The Rolling Stone

A música Cover of the Rolling Stone foi escrita por Shel Silverstein e gravada pela banda Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show. A canção satiriza a ideia de que aparecer na capa da revista Rolling Stone era o ápice do sucesso para um artista de rock. A letra fala sobre os excessos do estilo de vida do rock n roll e o desejo de alcançar grande 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
