Well, he's a half wit teacher
But he beat the preacher
Now he's loved everywhere he goes (that sounds like him)
He speaks about beauty and he speaks about truth
At ten-thousand dollars a show (right)
He takes all kinds of pills that give him all kind of thrills
But the thrill he now has known
Is the thrill that'll gitcha when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rollin' Stone
(Rollin stone)he wants to see his picture on the cover
(Stone)Wanna buy five copies for his mother (yes)
(Stone)Wanna see his smilin' face
On the cover of the Rollin' Stone (that's a very very good idea)
He's got a freaky ole lady name a cocaine Sophie
Who embroideries all his jeans
Hes got my poor ole grey haired daddy
Drivin' his limousine
Now it's all designed to blow our minds
But our minds won't really be blown
Like the blow that'll gitcha when he got his picture
On the cover of the Rollin' Stone
