 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

You may drive around in your town 
Ina brand new shiny car 
Your face in the wind your haircut's in 
And your friends think you're bizarre 
You may find a cushy job and I hope that you go far 
But if you really want to taste some cool success 
You better learn to play guitar 

[Chorus:] 
Play guitar--play guitar (3X) 

You got your eyes on the cheerleader queen 
And you're walkin' her home from school 
You know that she's only seventeen 
But you know that  your a fool 
You know you can't touch this stuff 
Without money or a brand new car 
Let me give you some good advice young man 
You better learn to play guitar 

[Chorus:] 

All women around the world want a phony rock star 
Who plays guitar 

Well you can pump your iron and shine your shoes 
And wear your hair just right 
You go down out on cruisin' street 
'Cause you want to score tonight 
We all want to strut our stuff 
And you really want to show your scars 
Forget all about that macho shit 
And learn how to play guitar 

[Chorus:]
