[Intro Shout Out] TEA! [Verse 1] Back on the porch swing, banjo low and mean, heels hit the boards, whole deck starts to lean. Straw hat back, dust on the shirt, old truck idling, screen door hurt. Eeeee. Cat slips past like it owns this place, tail keeping time, cool as a face. Banjo snaps once, then the kick comes in, like a chain-link gate getting kicked in. INN! [Chorus] It’s a tribute to a tribute, a cover of a cover, we hit one chord and the room comes under. Bass drops hard, floorboards shake, same old tune, but it hits new weight. From ridge-top huts to a backroad shed, from Tokyo alleys to a porch instead, we keep that loop till the whole place blurs— a cover of a cover, and it still stirs. AAy!. [Verse 2] Rice-straw dust, cedar smoke, tatami room with the amp half-choked. Shamisen crack, then the low end rolls, boot on the stair, no holding back at all. SEE! Snow on the ridge, red clay below, amp light flickers like a livewire glow. Not polished, not sweet, just a punch in the chest and a grin in the teeth. EYE!. [Chorus] Oh! It’s a tribute to a tribute, a cover of a cover, YOU! we hit one chord and the room comes under. Bass drops hard, floorboards shake, ESSS! same old tune, but it hits new weight. From ridge-top huts to a backroad shed, from Tokyo alleys to a porch instead, we keep that loop till the whole place blurs— a cover of a cover, and it still stirs. Deeeeeee! [Bridge] (TENACIOUS D. ROCKS!) Hand on the rail, moon on tin, (TENACIOUS D. ROCKS!) one hard drop and we’re all in. No clean edge, no polite rules, just sparks in the dark and a room full of fuel. TENACIOUS D. ROCKS! [Final Chorus] (yOU cOULD nEVER!) It’s a tribute to a tribute, a cover of a cover, (dESTROY) banjo in the front, low end under. (mETAL!!!) Bass goes deep, boards start to crack, same old song with a heavier back. From the high-step wind to the gravel lane, from cedar hills to the freight-train strain, we ride that surge till the porch all quakes— a cover of a cover, and the bass still breaks. [Outro] yOU cOULD nEVER! dESTROY THE mETAL!!! tHE mETAL sAHLLL nevvvver dIE! TENACIOUS D. ROCKS!
