The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
There was a group called called Scum of the Earth And they say they got their birth In a basement bar on Greek Street down in Soho. The bass man he smoked grass, And the drummer he kicked ass, And the lead guitar ate speed while everybody boogied. The drummer's name was Mavis He was a twice convicted rapist. Th Now one night Scum of the Earth They was playin' for all they was worth. Guitar screams and wails and cymbal crashes Louder, faster and higher 'Til their electric cords caught fire, And the whole damn band was burned to a pile of ashes. And The Scum of the Earth they just keep boogyin' on. Higher and higher until the fire Was burned out and gone And The Scum of the Earth they just keep boogyin' on.
