A long time ago - Me and some old friends

Got to play together - To make a metal band

We had a guitar player - Frank was his name

The left hand was a lightning - The right hand was a flame

He came up with some great stuff - Always heavy, mean and tough

Then one day he came along - He had a thing to say

Sorry guys please understand

I can play no more I'm gonna quit the band

We were really shocked - To hear him talk that way

We thought that he was happy - Everything was ok

He had other plans - With some other guys

I never thought he could leave us - Oh god what a surprise

Then we fell on our knees - Frank don't leave oh please

He stood firm no going back - What else could we say?

Thank you Frank for giving a hand

It's a bad bad thing that you quit the band

As you see we're still here - Without Frank and his gear

We still rock while he's away - And there's one more thing to say

Yeah we know you quit the band

But please remember that you'll always be a friend
