The Rock Authority - The New York Dolls (Prancing and Preening) Lyrics

Before there was the Clash
Before the Ramones
Before the Sex Pistols
While they were all unknown
One band was on the scene
Powerful, mighty and mean
Dressed like soho queens
With a mighty singer who Pranced And preened
Sloppy but solid guitars
Played all the east side bars
The thumping of thunderous drums
And a singer with powerful lungs
The New York Dolls
David, Sylvain, Johnny, Jerry And Killer Kane
The New York Dolls
The punk scene was never the same
Before there was MTV
Before there were Swifties
Before there was Blondie
Or even Run DMC
There was
The New York Dolls
David, Sylvain, Johnny, Jerry And Killer Kane
The New York Dolls
The punk scene was never the same
Five guys wearing high heels
Recordings on reel to reel
The legend continues to build
They were bombastic
But very skilled
They were
The New York Dolls
David, Sylvain, Johnny, Jerry And Killer Kane
The New York Dolls
The punk scene was never the same
Yeah
Yeah yeah no
Yeah no yeah no yeah no yeah yeah yeah
If you blinked you may have missed them
But the punk scene would not have existed
Without the one and only
New York Dolls
Because they walked with personality
Talked with personality
They were
The New York Dolls
David, Sylvain, Johnny, Jerry And Killer Kane
The New York Dolls
The punk scene was never the same
They were bombastic and they were fantastic
They were the New York Dolls
They were the New York Dolls
