Verse 1:
There is a place,
You can go,
Where everyone...
Is in the know.
Chorus: (in a call n' response fashion)
Now,
Everybody off you seat, (band sings)
We're rockin' @ the Grape Street, (lights go on the crowd as they respond)
Everyone on your feet, (band sings)
We're rockin' @ the Grape Street. (lights go on the crowd as they respond)
Let's rock... (different solo for each bridge back to verse... sax 1st verse, electric guitar 2nd verse, bass 3rd verse, etc.)
Verse 2:
[your help needed here]
you asked about the melody... the melody for Rockin' @ the Grape St. is wide open... i've started doing a lil' piano work on it. (Click here to listen to a midi recording of piano improvisations.)
the riff for the chorus goes:
We're rockin' @ the Grape Street. G G G G G G Am
i'm also working on getting a choir of kids to sing it.
and, we've gotten more lyrics and thoughts from other musicians (i'll either email out an update or start posting it on the net. then, maybe you can translate it to russian... alex to french... and sech to spanish?)
lets rock!
and, here is another possible verse:
the place is lookin' like a zoo,
there's joe (spotlight goes on joe cahill),
the mike's (spotlights go on mike lightkep, mike beaudry,
mike patriarca, etc.)
and, scooter, too (spotlight goes on scooter)

It's me!
what if we will do many different songs"rockin@ grape street". It could
be whole album where everyone of us do his own "grape street" song. I
already did it. I'd plan to record it this week. It could be like our
different grape streets. Imagine-you, me, sech, alex- we all together separately
from each other do this songs and after will be whole album. It's gonna be
really international progect. Our lyrics will be different except of this
part(refrain):
Everybody off you seat, (band sings)
Everyone should compose his own music for song.
I will encode my song"gr.street"to mp3 format and upload it to ya if
it's possible. Let me know what you think about it. If you agree I
will start to record it right now.

I don't sure that it's exactly what you need
but it's like "I'm the
walrus". I like lyrics like this. Let's go. If you don't like it, please
delete these lyrics. Or correct it!
Where do we go?
I'm gonna show you this place
You have to know
Only green grass and trees
You would see there
No more wars no more tears
Everywhere.
Kid, feel the bit, feel the taste of great life
Time, now it's time, move your feet
Hear how we're playing Rock at the grape street
Everybody off you seat,
We're rockin' @ the Grape Street,
Everyone on your feet,
We're rockin' @ the Grape Street.
more verses [from Russia]:
Ask me why...
I call for a man?
this place... please show!
I've gotta know (where is it)
let me in
i like view
Where the sky is always blue
Where the sea is always kind
and the wind blows my mind
There is no "no" in this place
no chance for a liar... nor betrayer
only friends who care
could be there
i think it's great... one of the others says he has some "beatles" chords to go with it... so it might be perfect!
From Alex
in Quebec (Not, Canada!):
Verse 2
Verse 3
lemme know
ok... I got the guitar chords for that song... sounds a little
Beatle but its perfect...
send me the rest of the verses idea that others sent... I'll make your song.
The chords are done let me write them to ya
The E chord isnt just E, its E+, important not the same thing at all
Will try'n'record it soon
There's people dancin'
My friends are playing
Its too soon to go
Sit back and watch the show
Grab a guitar my friend
You'll be playing in the end
As well as me and him
Me and him
