"Do you know who I am?" said Bill Haley In a pancake house near the Rio Grande The waitress said, "I don't know you from diddley" "To me you're just another tired old man" He walked alone down on Main street A hot wind was blowing up from the south There were two eyes staring in a pawn shop window And a whiskey bottle was lifted up to his mouth [Chorus] There was no moon shining on the Rio Grande As a truck of migrants pulled through town And the jukebox was busted at the bus de-pot When Haley's Comet hit the ground He blacked out all the windows in his bedroom He was talking to the ceiling and the walls He closed his eyes and hit the stage in 1955 As the screams of the children filled the hall [Chorus] This cop walked into a pancake house in Texas And ordered up a couple of cups to go And he tells the waitress, "Hey, I just found the body Of some guy who was famous long ago"
