Farnham, John - It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll) Lyrics
Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stop in all the byways
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' robbed
Gettin' beat up
Broken-boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you, folks
It's harder than it looks
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
Hotel, motel
Make you wanna cry
Ladies do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Gettin' old
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Underpaid
Gettin' sold
Second hand
That's how it goes
Playin' in a band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out, it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

It's a long way to the Cross if you wanna fuck a mole
BRILLIANT is all I can say - sooooo much fun and loving, thank you!
Bloody awesome, 2 legends on stage live
Oh Farnham and his sanitized version what a load of crap
john smith I’d like to see ya come up with your own version of this song
@Joshua Barnes It should be sung exactly the way Bon wrote it … asshole
@Joshua Barnes You are a disgrace to Australian rock and roll .
Brilliant performance, great pairing, thanks for posting.
Can you imagine how juiced that band was when someone said “how about some AC/DC?”
CLASSIC
I’m not a JF fan but I love him here with TJ and boy they both nailed it , absolutely beautiful and amazing guys !!!!
Great preformance! R.I.P Malcom
There is a video with TJ and an old classic rock band (on the heavy side) and I can't remember who it was and can't find it. Hard rock or at least heavy blues. Thanks for any help.
can acdc put tom in instead of axle grease?
❤️❤️❤️
Seven dislikers wouldn't know awesomeness if it flew up their rectal cavities and did burnouts.
John have the body language of Donald Trump back then
As they say i Australia. Get fucked!
Incredible and not expected bevor seeing
Ah Farnsie and Sir Tom two amazing voices singing AC/DC I am sure AC/DC would be stoked. They are such legends Had the best night at every concert I went to several times at Farnsie always at his gigs and saw Sir Tom a few times thanks for giving us your music xo
Its a long long way to the tuck shop , if you wanna a Chicko Roll !!!
Terrible version
TheStiofanmac come up with your own version
I liked this far more than expected 🤘🏻🤙🏻👊🏻
You guys rock
Fan F'n Tastic Cover , Bon / Mal and the Boys be well proud , R.I.P Malcolm Young the Riff Master
I was there and it was brilliant
А билеты по разнарядке?
Chris Slade actually played with Tom Jones years before AC/DC.
Donald trump and Tom jones
i was going to say johnnie is one expat pom I don't mind them claiming,but respect due for anyone that pays homage to acdc,but I doubt acdc will be coming out with Sadie the cleaning lady to soon but was good
No but I could see them doing ur the voice or playing to win =p
Farnham can sing but I think Ted Mulry does the best cover of this song.
This is indeed pure quintessential rock and roll!
actual noh bad. You have my attention sirs.
Stupid brass sucks. There should be bagpipes, not fucking trombones.
Please stop this....NOW !
Paul Adams I dare you to preform your own version than this song
not so bad tom....
And now Tom Jones old drummer is in AC/DC.
yeahhhhhhhh
Boy would I like to have seen TINA TURNER join the boys on stage - then Angus comes out to finish off - AC DC best band in history !!!
GREAT COVER......... But next time spring for a few more bucks & get Bagpipes
;)
Pretty bloody good..it's not Acka Dacka but hey it's good!
is that a young Donald Trump singin with Tom??
Cool Duet:)
Tom Jones is awesome he must be nearly 70 in this clip unbelievable
donkey butt Still had a few years to go. When this was recorded in February 2005, Tom would have been 64 and John 55.
Fucking great! Funk & Jones!!!
FUCKING AWESOME!!!
Great version john...you re the man
Still better than Axl Rose.
Yahh Fucking Ass
Bon was the best !
Not bad. No one can sing it like Bon though
I think hes like that version
Never new that??????
The Australians are so proud of AC/DC, but most core members were -Irish- Scottish born.
Can they really be called an Australian band?
CapnTates a lot of Australians were born overseas, such as John Farnham, and myself, but if you live here for most of your life you are Australian
When they were raised here all their life yes we can .. they were aussie citizens and they would say they were aussie just like farnham and hutchens would too if he could ... we our a proud country of immigrants and multicultural society is what makes us who we are.
Seen as Australia was born on multiculturalism... can any one be called an aussie by ur standard coz we are all from British immigrants ... any one who grew up here and becomes an aussie citizen is aussie period
@tayhutt yes it does ... they are Aussies... and more importantly freo boys ... fun fact high way to hell is about canning highway in Perth... the road the boys had to take to get to their gigs when the first started ...
Yes they can, just like the Easybeats, don't be so narrow minded. AC/DC couldn't have HAPPENED in Scotland, face it.
Brilliant, loved it. just came across this by accident. As we sing here jokingly, "It's a long way to the top if you wanna sausage roll"
xD AHAHAHAHAHA!!!
+Bernadette Stuart Landers Long way to the SHOP if you want a sausage roll ;)
Bernadette Stuart Landers ...its a long way to the tuck shop , if you want a Chiko Roll.
Da Iawn Tom... That man can sing anything.
So can johnny 😉
Tom Jones doing Karaoke lol
Nur hammer ich spiele da mit meiner e-gitarre mit und spiele noch ein solo dazu
Fabulous Combo!
Two Brilliant Artists!
