Old Man Jones lived on the dark side of the town
Never had much to say
But man he had that six string down
The kids theyâd always listen
When the old man would sing and play
And me I was there just a face in the crowd
When I finally got a chance to say
I said
âTell me what it takes to play with fire
Tell me what it takes to make it realâ
He said âSon there ainât no secrets
Itâs all just what you feel
So boy if you wanna be good
Better listen hereâ
âIt ainât about the clothes you wear
Ainât about the style of your hair
That ainât what it takes to be a music man
Itâs all about the way you play
Livinâ for the music âtil your dyinâ day
Thatâs what it takes to be a music manâ
One chord screaminâ through a wall of amplified thunder
As the heavens roared
And the lightning raged
I knew the spell I was under
Then the old man took me by the hand
He said âI can see it in your eyes
That you got what it takes to be a music man
What it takes to light up the skyâ
Tell me what it takes to play with fire
Tell me what it takes to make it real
He said âSon there ainât no secrets itâs all just what you feel
So boy if you wanna be good better listen hereâ
It ainât about the clothes you wear
Ainât about the style of your hair
That ainât what it takes to be a music man
Itâs all about the way you play
Livinâ for the music âtil your dyinâ day
Now thatâs what it takes to be a music man
Thatâs what it takes to be a music man
Thatâs what it takes
Thatâs what it takes to be a music man
