It's funny, you know
'Cause there's an old rock 'n' roller
He's got nowhere to go
Did you ever think of takin' him in?
Somebody help him, somebody please

Put another record on
'Cause he likes that song

It's funny, you know
He never done nothin', done nobody wrong
Didn't thing about changin' his name
But I'm gonna tell him it's the same old game

Put another record on

Round, round, round and around, oh
Oh, see him smile

Well, lately I've seen him
Walkin' down the street, kinda movin' his feet
Everyone I know looks the other way
Somebody help him, somebody say:

Put another record on

Round, round, round and around, oh
Oh, see him smile

Just put another record on

Genesis

Genesis are an English rock band formed at Charterhouse School, Godalming, Surrey in 1967. The most commercially successful line-up includes keyboardist Tony Banks, guitarist Mike Rutherford and drummer/singer Phil Collins. Other important members were singer Peter Gabriel and guitarist Steve Hackett. The band underwent several significant changes in musical style over its career, from folk music to progressive rock in the 1970s, before moving towards pop at the end of the decade.

Formed by five Charterhouse pupils including Banks, Rutherford, Gabriel and Anthony Phillips, Genesis was named by former pupil Jonathan King who arranged them to record several unsuccessful singles and an album. After splitting with King, the group began touring professionally, signing with Charisma Records. Following the departure of Phillips, Genesis recruited Collins and Hackett and recorded several progressive rock style albums, with live shows centred around Gabriel’s theatrical costumes and performances.

Their discography includes fifteen studio and six live albums, six of which topped the UK chart. They have won numerous awards and nominations, including a Grammy Award for Best Concept Music Video with “Land of Confusion” and inspired a number of tribute bands recreating Genesis shows from various stages of the band’s career. In 2010, Genesis were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their biggest hit to date is Invisible Touch which spent 3 consecutive weeks at #1.
