[Verse 1]
Dm7
I could be the driver in articulated lorry,

F Eb7 F G
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,
Dm7
I should be glad ...to be so inclined!
Eb Eb G7 G7 C
What a waste, what a waste, Rock 'n' Roll don't mind!(Schtum!)
