Paula Boggs Band - Goo Goo Dolls

Goo Goo Dolls
Songwriter: Paula E. Boggs

Verse 1
Willie Nelson's playing on the jukebox. / Followed by a dose of B.B. King. / I don't see
a single Gen X hipster. / Not even a whiff of "Hotline Bling." / Women flirt with purpose
and passion. / Men know how to boot scoot as they roll. / Couples shuffle left then
come together. / While others chug brew from the Live Oak. / Then something real
strange begins to happen. / What's that sound now pouring from the cans? / Lordy if it
ain't ole Johnny Rzeznik. / Drums, strings and crescendo is his brand.

Chorus 1
Goo Goo Dolls, Goo Goo Dolls; Mercy Mercy Me. / Johnny and his Gibson sounding
pretty, smug and free. / If I had a dollar every time a young girl swooned... / I'd be the
richest musician this side of the moon.

Verse 2
I am not an infant of the 90s. / Weaned on Eddie Vedder or Green Day. / Mama sang
me Elvis and Ella. / Rocked me to the grooves of Marvin Gaye. / Now we have Tidal
and Pandora. / Can't recall the last time I got paid. / Oh to be transported back to "Iris"
when Johnny and his Goo Goos ruled the airwaves.

Chorus 2
Goo Goo Dolls, Goo Goo Dolls; Mercy Mercy Me. / Wishin' Johnny was still the king
of FM frequency. / Cuz if I had a dollar every time a young girl swooned... / I'd be the
richest musician this side of the moon. / I'd be the richest musician this side of the
moon. / I'd be the richest damn musician this side of the moon.
