Gene Vincent Can

Gene Vincent Can't Be Dead

Flash Cats

(Wayne Kennedy, LARK LS1, 1982)

Well, as I was walkin' down the street
Saw some kids get on the beat
I said, hey you kids just where is it at
They said, man we're diggin' the wildest cat
Well, ah-ah that's what they said
You know, we ain't easily led
Can't you get this through your head
Gene Vincent can't be dead!

Well, they rock all day and they rock all night
Roll it on in and move it on out
To a black leather cat, the daddy of 'em all
To them he's the tops, he just can't fall
Ah-ah that's what they said
You know, we ain't easily led
Can't you get this through your head
Gene Vincent can't be dead!

Well, I got all his records and I got all his tapes
And I got everything that the guy's ever made
Unchained Melody, Baby Blue
Be-Bop-A-Lula, she's there too
A lot of little things I've seen today
Nothing don't move me I'm sad to say
Just one cat gets me to jive
That's the greatest guy that's ever been alive
Ah-ah that's what they said
You know, we ain't easily led
Can't you get this through your head
Gene Vincent can't be dead!
Waaaaaaaaah!

Gene Vincent can't be dead
No-no, Gene Vincent can't be dead
No-no, Gene Vincent can't be dead
Gene Vincent can't be dead!
