THE ALL AMERICAN BOY
?Gather 'round, cats, and I'll tell you a story
About how to become an All American Boy
Buy you a gittar and put it in tune
You'll be rockin' and rollin' soon.?
(..)
?Well , I 'd practice all day and up into the night
My papa's hair was turnin' white
Cause he didn't like rock'n'roll
He said "You can stay, boy, but that's gotta go.
He's a square, he just didn't dig me at all
So I took my gittar, picks and all?
?I signed my name and became a star
Havin' a ball with my gittar
Driving a big long Cadillac and fightin' the girls off ma back
They just kept a'comin', screamin', yeah-they like it
So I'd pick my gittar with a great big grin
And the money just kept on pourin' in?

This song was really by Bobby Bare and was wrongly credited as Bill Parsons.
?Bobby Bare never intended to be known as Bill Parsons. His first hit,
?The All American Boy,? came out crediting Bill Parsons completely by
accident. Since the novelty became such a smash ? reaching No. 2 ? the
company didn't want to confuse matters with the truth, so they also
released the next few of Bobby's singles as by Bill Parsons.?
?Singer on the 45 single was really future country star Bobby Bare.
He'd been drafted into the Army in 1958 and left this demo behind. It
was inadvertently released as being sung by one of its writers, Bill
Parsons.?

Biography of Bobby Bare
?Bare's first appearance on record was in 1958, as he recorded his own
talking blues "The All American Boy" which was credited to Bill
Parsons. A number of labels refused the record before the Ohio-based
Fraternity Records bought it for $50; the fee also included the
publishing rights. "The All American Boy" was released in 1959 and it
surprisingly became the second-biggest single in the U.S. that
December, crossing over to the pop charts and peaking at number three.
The single was also a big hit in the U.K., reaching number 22.?
