Fast Eddie

He's a fast one-that Eddie Our rock n roll daddy He used to play saxophone And that's better than trombone And especially xylophone He's a smart one-that Eddie Sharing stories with you and me He used to play cops and robbers Giving to the poor from his coffers A modern-day Robin Hood From our own neighbourhood He's a kind one-that Eddie Compassionate to you and me He used to play the good shepherd Clothes off his back and a good word To you and me and even a nerd He's a tough one-that Eddie Our rock n roll daddy Sex drugs and rock n roll May soon take its toll But he's reached his goal He's lived his life fast and hard Very seldom caught off guard He's been a friend to you and me And that is awesome and kingly May he live in prosperity
