Rockin' With Simms

from Hot Guitar by Oven Mitt Johnson

/

lyrics

You know I play my guitar seven days a week.
And I travel from St. Louis to Mozambique.
And I shine like solid gold, my guitar’s too hot to hold,
Mr. Simms just put his gloves on, his piano is ice cold.
But when we play together, we tear it up limb from limb.
My name is Oven Mitt Johnson and I’m rockin’ with Hot Glove Simms.

Aint no doubt about it, life is hard.
I can’t get fancy clothes or a credit card.
I can’t get nothin’ to lose, and I can’t get on the news.
You know just what the blues is when you step into my shoes.
But when I play piano, I’m as happy as Tiny Tim.
“God bless us, every one!” Oven Mitt Johnson and Hot Glove Simms.

Layin’ bread on my guitar and makin’ toast.
My piano keeps the beer cold coast to coast.
We’re happy that we’re here.
To put a bug up in your ear.
And when we play our instruments we need protective gear.
Never seen anything so funky.
Even up under the rim.
Here’s Oven Mitt Johnson rockin’ with his good friend, Hot Glove Simms.
