[Intro]

[Verse 1]

I could be the driver in articulated lorry,

I could be a poet, I wouldn't need to worry,

I could be the teacher in a classroom full of scholars,

I could be the Sergeant in a Squadron full of wallahs!

What a waste! What a waste! What a waste! What a waste!

[Chorus]

Because I chose to play the fool in a six-piece band,

First night nerves every one-night stand,

I should be glad ...to be so inclined!

What a waste! What a waste! Rock 'n' Roll don't mind! (Schtum!)

[Verse 2]

I could be a lawyer, with stratagems and ruses,

I could be a doctor, with poultices and bruises,

I could be writer with a growing reputation,

I could be the ticket man at Fulham Broadway Station!

What a waste! What a waste! What a waste! What a waste!

[Chorus]

Because I chose to play the fool in a six-piece band,

First night nerves every one-night stand,

I should be glad to be so inclined!

What a waste! What a waste, but I don't mind!

[Verse 3]

I could be the catalyst that sparks a revolution,

I could be an inmate in a long -term institution,

I could lead to wild extremes, I could do or die,

I could yawn, and be withdrawn, and watch them gallop by!

What a waste! What a waste! What a waste! What a waste!

[Chorus]

Because I chose to play the fool in a six - piece band,

First night nerves every one-night stand,

I should be glad to be so inclined! What a waste! What a waste!

Rock 'n' Roll don't mind! Ah-------------------!

Ah------------------------! Ah-----------------------!

( What a waste! What a waste!)

[Chorus]

^ ^ Chose to play the fool in a six-piece band,

First night nerves every one-night stand,

I should be glad to be so inclined!

What a waste! What a waste! Rock 'n' Roll don't mind!

^ ^ ^ ^ ^

What a waste! What a waste! Rock 'n' Roll don't mind!

^ ^ ^ ^ ^

[Instrumental Chorus]

^ ^ ^ ^ ^

[Chorus]

Chose to play the fool in a six-piece band,

First night nerves every one-night stand,

I should be glad to be so inclined!

What a waste! What a waste! Rock 'n' Roll don't mind!
