Chula Vista

Back in the 8th grade we were the first class to occupy the brand new, state of the art (at the time) Methuen High School. They went out of their way to be as progressive as possible to the point of having an outdoor smoking section for students. This would have been around 1974.

The school had a store staffed by students that actually sold albums by all of the popular rock bands of the time. I bought Bad Company's debut from them.

One of the cooler things they did would allow the store to play album sides over the PA during lunch periods. And they let them play nice and loud.

One day they decide to play side one of Toys in the Attic by Aerosmith. Everyone is rocking out and it gets to track 5. About halfway through the lunch monitor bolts and about 30 seconds later you hear SCREECH!!!!! as the needle gets dragged across the LP.

They stopped allowing music after that.



Got me the strangest woman
Believe me this trick's no cinch
But I really get her going
When I whip out my big ten inch....

Record of a band that plays the blues
Well a band that plays its blues
She just love my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues

Last night I tried to tease her
I gave my love a little pinch
She said now stop that jivin'
Now whip out your big ten inch.....

Record of a band that plays those blues
Well a band that plays the blues
She just loves my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues

I, I, I cover her with kisses
And when we're in a lover's clinch
She gets all excited
When she begs for my big ten inch.....

Record of a band that plays those blues
Well a band that plays the blues
She just love my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues

My girl don't go for smokin'
And liquor just make her flinch
Seems she don't go for nothin'
'Cept for my big ten inch.....

Record of a band that plays the blues
Band that play the blues
She just love my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues
