I want to tell you a story. Once upon a time. There were five young guys. Hanging in and out of Newcastle. Playing Rhythm and Blues. They had nothing to lose. They didn't need that tin-pan hassle. Over the Reeperbahn where the beat was born. Shocking the heart of the nation. Sign of the times. A new search in life. Start of a new rock generation. From day one to kingdom come. I'd do it all again. I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal). I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal). I used to be an animal (whoa oh). But I'm all right now. All right now baby. Twenty years ago we were children of war. But we danced to the Bo Diddley beat. There were rockers and mods. We didn't take it too hard. We had blue suede shoes on our feet. A revolution in France and James Brown's dance. A new world coming our way. We'd talk that talk in the streets of New York. And never looked back to this day. From day one to the risin' sun. I'll do it all again. I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal). I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal). I used to be an animal (whoa oh). But I'm all right now. All right all right all right. Yeah yeah all right whoa baby. We were flippin' and trippin'. And rockin' and rollin'. And generally havin' a ball. For the price of a drink. There was no time to think about the morality of it all. There was freaks and queens and love-ins and has-beens. Whisky-a-gogos and all night flamingos. A psychedelic explosion in slow motion. Dr Strangelove's bomb. From day one to the risin' sun. I'll do it all again (whoa oh oh). I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal). I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal). I used to be an animal (whoa oh). But I'm all right now. All right all right. Yeah yeah. All right all right. I'm all right nowâ€¦. (Jackson-Clark Burdon Bastow).
