Doug and The Beats

Let me tell you about

local legend Doug Street

Founding member of

The Sackville Beats

Doug played lead guitar

and had a good flow

Got a bit thin on top

so he let the beard go

He’s been driving semis

these past few years

Hard on the waistline

drank too many beers

Come on give it up for ‘Main Street’

The unforgettable Doug Street

Let’s hear it for Sackville’s elites

The bad-ass Sackville Beats

Doug did a little time

for smuggling dope

Says it’s all good now

he’s back off the ropes

Groupies used to scream out

throw stuff on stage

Only action these days

occasional road rage

Come on give it up for ‘Main Street’

The unforgettable Doug Street

Let’s hear it for Sackville’s elites

The bad-ass Sackville Beats

Old rockers they die hard

rarely retreat

Therefore give a big hand

for Doug and The Beats

He longs for the lights

speakers full blast

Knows he’s not the same Doug

easily gets gassed

Beats talking reunion

a few gigs in metro

Dug out red bandana

to keep things retro

Come on give it up for ‘Main Street’

The unforgettable Doug Street

Let’s hear it for Sackville’s elites

The bad-ass Sackville Beats

Band rehearses weekends

in buddy’s garage

Tough to find roadies

to set up no charge

Band bangs out BTO

also the Stones

Beaten-up black Fender

still reverbs and moans

Come on give it up for ‘Main Street’

The unforgettable Doug Street

Let’s hear it for Sackville’s elites

The bad-ass Sackville Beats

Old rockers they die hard

rarely retreat

Therefore give a big hand

for Doug and The Beats

Back in the day they sang

eighties and back

Been practising some licks

off old eight-tracks

Doug trying to work on

pitch in his voice

Original singer’s gone

so he has no choice

Come on give it up for ‘Main Street’

The unforgettable Doug Street

Let’s hear it for Sackville’s elites

The bad-ass Sackville Beats

He knows he’s no Mick

but has a few tricks

Overdub and mix

might excite older chics

Remembers all the chords

riffs they should come

Practice will make perfect

speed improve some

Come on give it up for ‘Main Street’

The unforgettable Doug Street

Let’s hear it for Sackville’s elites

The bad-ass Sackville Beats
