Lyrics

On and On
by Stephen Bishop

Out in Rehoboth
He spends July and August, too
Does no radio
Breaks the Littles’ hearts
Ten to noon, can’t listen to the old man
TK can’t wait for summer, doesn’t give a damn

He ain’t on
Won’t hear of his fear of flying
Won’t learn ‘bout sunglasses he is buying
He ain’t on, He ain’t on, He ain’t on

Poor ol' Nigel
Sits alone in the studio
Twiddling knobs for a lesser man
So he reads old emails
Don’t need a song for “Old Guy”
Puts on a jingle and starts to cry

He ain’t on
Littles claim they’re crying
But, really, Tony they’d be lying
You’re not on, Life goes on, Life goes on

    Lovely! John nails another one. GoT, Spinal Tap, Wizard of Oz, and Animal House are all great. I've never seen Lost.

    I'd be glad to make a karaoke track for this one for the LIVE EVENT if there is a place for it......

    "He Ain't On" and the others at the end are so good for "On and On" - Man, this is very smooth! Rob - I believe Bishop is the guy playing the guitar in the scene when John Belushi takes it from him and smashes it.

    i don't know who Stephen Bishop is, but this is a nice song. I mean, I'm sure I'd prefer John's version if I ever bother to listen to Bishop's, but there's no shame in that. Bryan Adams probably is still able to sleep at night even though Grapefruit Juice for $3.69 is 40 times better than HIS song. this kinda makes me feel bad for "Nigel" though.
