Anyone know what Lydon is saying in this Sex Pistols song?

    What is Johnny Rotton saying at the end of the Sex Pistols song 'Great Rock N Roll Swindle'. It's not really lyrics, moreso him (I think?) ranting on about Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Dylan and other rock icons in derogatory way whilst the rest of the band sing the song chorus in the background.

    Any google+lyrics search for this song I've done so far doesn't have this ranting bit so I'm hoping someone here might know what he's saying?

    Any info gratefully recieved....

    (actually now that I think of it it might not even be Lydon singing ... but I'd still like to know what (whoever?) is singing)

    Don't have the album, 'cause, you know, ****e. But afaik Johnny Rotten doesn't feature on it at all. I think the only "proper" singing on it at all is Sid. Malcolm McLaren's such a chancer.

    It's Eddie Tempole (Tempole Tudor) who sings/rants on the track.

    See www.sex-pistols.net, may have lyrics there

    Thanks Drums, Frank but that site doesn't have the lyrics. All lyrics sites I've seen so far just seem to be a copy+paste of that version and have neglected to include the bits i'm looking for.
