Come here talkin', like a schoolboy fool
Cute and rotten
Ooh, Beanie G. and your Rose Tattoo
Keep on rockin' like the Geator say (keep on)
White clogs knockin'
Oh, oh, oh, Beanie G. wonder can you play?
Don't be no punk, don't be no candy ass
Don't flunk the test, then expect to pass
Don't understand, and yet afraid to ask
So why you wanna waste your time?
Rose guitar bleeding on your arm
Day-glo farm boy
Oh, Beanie G. with your Rose Tattoo
Oh, beanie G
Just tell me, where you learnt to Rock 'n' Roll
You got your licks, but you forgot your soul
You play real hot, but you leave me cold
So why do you wanna, waste my time?
Listen G. Boy, better get in line, G.Boy
And it's a long one, 'cause the gigs are hard to find
Beanie G. And The Rose Tattoo
Oh, Beanie G. ( G. Boy)
Oh, Beanie G. ( Keep on )
Oh, Beanie G. ( G. Boy )

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
