Lyrics

Runnin’ with the Devil
Ain’t Talkin’ Bout Love
Oh oh Jamie’s Crying
When Push Comes to Shove

A virtuoso gave us Eruption
Hats off Eddie Van Halen
Jumpin ’round with a boyish grin
Viva Eddie Van Halen

Little guitars Cathedral
Rockin Diver Down
Lifted those around him
The singer is a clown.

A virtuoso gave us Eruption
Hats off Eddie Van Halen
Jumpin ’round with a boyish grin
Viva Eddie Van Halen

Revamping amplifiers
Ten hour jammin fires
That was Eddie’s way of relaxin’
Tappin’ with left and right
Make music day and night.
Did a solo for M Jackson

In your bedroom basement and den
Crank up Eddie Van Halen
He was mortal he did sin
The best guitarist there’s ever been

A virtuoso gave us Eruption
Talkin’ ’bout Eddie Van Halen
Jumpin ’round with a boyish grin
Long live Eddie Van Halen
