TRACK #1  Rockin at the Avenue                                                         

Friday night on the Madison, all the bands come out to play
Vibrations, Denems & New Lime, All got something to say
Glenn played the Hammond organ, brother Mike played the Flyin V
They were layin down that Covington sound  for cats like you and me

Later just about 9:30  all the gang began to move
Cross the river to Newport town, down to old Bellevu
There was a tight band called the Shoguns at a club with a river view
Every Friday night they was out a sight  9:30 ta 2:00

Larry on the Drums Big Arns played the Showman
and Freddy played a Lawson or two
Patty played the organ through his monsta amp
that’s all that he could do
An Danny just slidin across the stage
on the moves he borrowed from James Brown
It was a five piece band with a driven beat
that northern Kentucky sound

Duke poured the drinks and Phil brought the groupies Elmer counted out the cash
Rick Shaw did the Roach on stage  Big George kicked out the trash
There was a tight band called the Shoguns at a club with a river view
Every Friday night they was rockin, rockin at the Avenue

Well the years go by  people stop and smile when the shoguns come to town
You boys was really great, you was so damn tight you could really lay it down
Well it’s never too late to rock n roll, rock n roll with a boomer or two
So every Friday night turn the radio up, remember the Avenue

Rockin at the Avenue, we was rockin at the Avenue
Rockin at the Avenue, that’s all that we could do
You’re never too old to rock n roll,  rock n roll with a boomer or two
So every Friday night turn the radio up, remember the Avenue
Rockin at the Avenue,  I say rockin at the Avenue
