The Late Great Johnny Ace - Paul Simon
I was reading a magazine

And thinking of a rock and roll song

The year was 1954

And I hadh't been playing that long
When a man came on the radio

And this is what he said

He said I hate to break it
To his fans
But Johnny Ace is dead

Well, I really wasn't
Such a Johnny Ace fan
But I felt bad all the same

So I sent away for his photograph
And I waited till it came

It came all the way from Texas

With a sad and simple face

And they signed it on the bottom
From the Late Great Johnny Ace

It was the year of The Beatles
It was the year of The Stones

It was 1964

I was living in London
With the girl from the summer before

It was the year of The Beatles
It was the year of The Stones

A year after J.F.K.

We were staying up all night
And giving the days away

And the music was flowing
Amazing
And blowing my way

On a cold December evening

I was walking through the Christmas tide

When a stranger came up and asked me

If I'd heard John Lennon had died

And the two of us
Went to this bar

And we stayed to close the place

And every song we played
Was for The Late Great Johnny Ace
