lyrics

Bobby's got a thing about the ultimate ride
guaranteed to turn your inside outside
Grooving on the edge of a precipice
Sends a message to an old nemesis
Suzy likes the sound of a runaway train
Fits the rhythm of a lifelong refrain
Rolling all the way from the top of the hill
Best for days when you can't buy a thrill

Who's been on the big rock candy
Who's gonna get control
Who's been on the big rock candy
Funny we're never told
Who's been on the big rock candy
Who's gonna get control
Who'll become the pillbox dandy
Move over rock move along rock and roll

Bobby waits for Suzy by the Tower of Doom
Eleven thirty by the light of the moon
She can't help it if she's lucky in love
Files a nail as she looks from above

Who's been on the big rock candy
Who's gonna get control
Who's been on the big rock candy
Funny we're never told
Who's been on the big rock candy
Who's gonna get control
Who'll become the switchbox dandy
Move over rock move along rock and roll
