Its A Long Way To The Top Lyrics & Chords By Jack Black

Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stoppin' all the byways
Playin rock 'n' roll

Gettin' robbed
Gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up
Broken boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you people it's harder than it looks
'Cause it's a long way to the top if you want to rock 'n' roll
Yes it's a long way to the top if you want to rock 'n' roll

You think it's easy playin' one night stands
Then try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top if you want to rock 'n' roll

Hotel motel
Make you want a cry
Made it through the hot sun
You're the reason why

Didn't know
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Under-paid
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you people it's harder than it looks
'Cause it's a long way to the top
If you want to rock 'n' roll

All right now take it down nice and easy
The next thing I want to hear
Is a face melting solo by our own Zack Mooneyham: go!

Dude, is my face okay?
I think you melted it off
Ah

All right, now the next thing I want to hear
The very next, I don't want to hear anything
Unless I hear a gut-bustin' drum solo from Freddy, take it away

Ah, it's a long way to the top if you want to rock 'n' roll
Yes, it's a long way to the top if you want to rock 'n' roll

Ah, my gut got busted
What did you do, Freddy?

Now, I think it's time we heard from a little somebody
Lawrence on lead solo keyboard, go!

Whoa, long way to the top if you want to rock 'n' roll
All right, slow it down, listen up, you guys
Here is what I need
I need you girls to repeat after me
Rrrrrubedubedube
Rrrrrubedubedube
Reblumbeblumblay
Reblumbeblumblay
Chickychickychickychickychickchig
Chickychickychickychickychickchig
Kakakakakakakeee
Kakakakakakakeee

Now the first test is over
I'm going to need Alicia to give me a two-second vocal solo, go!

'Cause it's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll

Don't Bogart the mike, Alicia
That was beautiful, but now it's time
Come on Tamika, melt it

That was tasty
Martha, blow my brains out, go!

The movie is over (the movie's really over)
But were still on screen (but were still on screen)
Everybody's rockin' (everybody's rockin')
And we came from Horace Green (and we came from Horace Green)

It's time for my solo

Movie's almost over (movie's almost over)
Credits got to roll (credits got to roll)
Look at that name there (look at that name there)
I do not know that guy (I do not know that guy)

Say, get out now
Getting out (getting out)
It's time to go now (time to go)
Other people gotta come in for the next show
You're getting in the way
The cleaning guy is coming
To clean up the sticky stuff on the floor

Ah
It's a long way to the top if you want to rock 'n' roll
Yes it's a long way to the top if you want to rock 'n' roll

All right, that's it
Stop, you guys, stop

Seriously you guys
All right, take five, take five
You want to go? All right
That was a good class
I'll see you, man
