Meta Lyrics
People came from miles around
Everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus
There was magic in the air
And over in the corner
Much to my surprise
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan’s shoes
Wearing his disguise
I said hello to “Mary Lou”
She belongs to me
When I sang a song about a honky-tonk
It was time to leave
Someone opened up a closet door
And out stepped Johnny B. Goode
Playing guitar like a ringing a bell
And lookin’ like he should
