"Do you know who I am?" said Bill Haley In a pancake house down near the Rio Grande Well the waitress said, "I don't know you from diddley To me you look like one more tired old man" Well he walked all alone down on Main street Was a hot wind blowin' up from the south There were two eye's starin' in a pawnshop window A whiskey bottle lifted to his mouth There was no moon shinin' on the Rio Grande A truck of migrants pulled through town The jukebox was busted at the bus depot When Haley's comet hit the ground Well he blacked out all the windows in his bedroom He was talkin' to the ceiling and the walls Then he closed his eyes and hit the stage in 1955 And the screams of the women filled the hall There was no moon shinin' on the Rio Grande A truck of migrants pulled through town The jukebox was busted at the bus depot When Haley's comet hit the ground Well a cop walks in a pancake house in Texas And he orders up two coffees to go He tells the waitress, "Baby, we just found the body Of someone who was famous long ago." There was no moon shinin' on the Rio Grande A truck of migrants pulled through town The jukebox was busted at the bus depot When Haley's comet hit the ground When Haley's comet hit the ground
