Guitar Bug Songtext

von Billy Burnette

I remember when I was just a little bitty boy
Listenin' to the radio
I heard Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, The Beatles and The Stones
I dug that rock 'n roll

I caught the bug
The guitar bug
And my folks said, "Better turn it down
Before I pull the plug"

I remember when I was just about seventeen
I bought my first guitar
I learned "Twine Time", "Pipeline", "Sweet Little Sixteen"
Wanted to be a star

I caught the bug
The guitar bug
And my folks said, "Better turn it down
Before I pull the plug"

And I remember the night when my first band
Was playin' at the high school hop
When we hit the bandstand the girls started screamin'
"Oh like they wouldn't stop!"

They caught the bug
The guitar bug
And the principal said, "Turn it down
Before I pull the plug"
And I said...

One more time baby!

The band was gettin' tight, playin' every night
A sell-out every show
Payin' dues, playin' the blues
Now it's time to hit the road

Still got the bug
The guitar bug
And people say, "You better turn it up
Before they pull the plug"

Now we're really doin' good, we live in Hollywood
A rock 'n roll paradise
Dinin' with the big wheels talkin' over record deals
Boy this sure feels nice

Still got the bug
The guitar bug
And the people say, "Turn it up
Don't stop
Let it rock
One more encore
Do it 'fore they pull the plug"
Still got the bug
The guitar bug
And the people say, "Turn it up
Don't stop
Let it rock
One more encore
Do it 'fore they pull the plug"
