We always thought that we were not a rock n roll band but it sure feels 
like rock n roll over here tonight 

We don't play guitars
We don't play guitars 
We don't play guitars 
 
We're standing on stage with our microphones, but we don't play guitars 
Got the Sherman up here with us, no we don't play guitars 

We don't play guitars 
Can you play guitar? 
We don't play guitars 
said can you play guitar? 
We don't play guitars 
We don't play guitars 

We're standing on stage with a microphone but we don't play guitars 
Got the Sherman up here with us, no we don't play guitars 

We don't play guitars 
We don't play guitars 
said can you play guitar? 

We can go shopping in the supermarket but we don't play guitars 
We shop more than other people, we don't play guitars 
Can you play guitar? 
Can you play guitar? 

Were standing in Tobi's studio but we don't play guitars 
Neither do Kiki or Melissa 
No we don't play guitars 

We like to use gaffa tape but we don't play guitars 
Give us your gaffa tape, we don't want your guitars 

We don't play guitars 
We don't play guitars 
No we don't play guitars 

You may not play guitars but I do! 
You know, maybe 'cause don't play guitars but 
P-E-A-C-H-E-S plays guitar 
I play guitar, that's right 
I play guitar 
Well you may not play guitar but I play guitar 
And I love it! 

We like using gaffa tape but we don't play guitars 
Give us your gaffa tape 'cause we don't play guitars 
Can you play guitar? 

We don't play guitars 
We don't play guitars 
We don't play guitars 
We don't play guitars
