The Ballad Of John Bonham’s Coke Roadie
[Verse 1]
Nothing on TV but a thing
Called Scarecrow and Mrs. King
You sit and watch it while your wife
Becomes the plaything of another man's life

[Chrous]
It don't bother me, I'm a toady
I'm John Bonham's coke roadie

[Verse 2]
Your life is terrifically out of step
But so what? I'm with the Zep
I don't wash dishes or pay the rent
I just depend on John getting bent

[Chrous]
But don't bother me, I'm a toady
I'm John Bonham's
(Coke roadie)

[Verse 3]
It's amazing what goes through your brain
As you frantically sweep the little grains
You think of fidelity, think of the fools
Marriage destroys you, stick to drum stools
[Chorus]
But don't bother me, I'm a toady
I'm John Bonham's...

[Verse 3]
We tour through cities, I see life
And someone is next to your wife
The only thing that can't be canned
Is setting up that hi-hat stand

[Chorus]
But don't bother me, I'm a toady
I'm John Bonham's
(Coke roadie)
Arrrghhh!
(Coke roadie)
