Even Trolls Love Rock and Roll

Even trolls love rock and roll

One time I had this little band back home

A rock and roll band

Now we was goin' to play this job one night

And it weren't too far away so we was walkin'

But upon this long, black stretch of woods

Had an old river runnin' through it

And an old wooden bridge across the river

Well, just as I was about to step up on the bridge

Out stepped a troll, the almighty troll

He said, "Uh, hey, looks like y'all going to play somewhere"

I said, "Yes, sir"

He said, "Look, uh, like, I hate to mess up y'alls job

But I sure could dig hearin' a little music"

I said," Man, we can't just plug up and play right here on the bridge"

He said, "Why?"

I said, "Uh, 'cause"

He said, "Play"

And that's what we did

Well, the wind was howling at the night

And the moon was covered up with clouds

Walking 'cross a bridge on a dirt road

When I heard the troll growl

He said, "Don't you go walking 'cross my bridge

Or I'm gonna make it rough on you

I will give you swamp fever

And you'll be wondering if you're you"

You know you got to pay the toll

'Cause even trolls love rock and roll

Ooh, it will keep you up all night

Drinkin' and a carryin' on

Gettin' it to the swamp music

Get it on, get it on

Ooh, you know you got to pay my toll

'Cause even trolls love rock and roll

He said, "Hey"

He said, "Look y'all, uh, ain't, ain't making it "

He said, "Would you mind if I, uh, borrowed that ole' guitar of yours

And showed y'all a little lick?"

Well, since we'd never heard a troll play

We let him have it

And he said, "Like this right here now"

Ooh-wee

I said, "Yes, sir, troll, you can play"

Oh, the fever's not really such a bad thing

It's just hard to understand

But when you see me start to boogie

Well you know it's got me by the hand

Whoa, you know you got to pay the toll

'Cause even trolls love rock and roll
