Do You Remember Rock'n'Roll Radio?

Do you remember Hullabaloo, 
Upbeat, Shindig and Ed Sullivan too? 
Do you remember rock'n'roll radio? 
Do you remember rock'n'roll radio? 

Do you remember Murray the K, 
Alan Freed, and high energy? 
It's the end, the end of the 70's 
It's the end, the end of the century 

Do you remember lying in bed 
With your covers pulled up over your head? 
Radio playin' so one can see 
We need change, we need it fast 
Before rock's just part of the past 
'Cause lately it all sounds the same to me 

Oh-oh 
Will you remember Jerry Lee, John Lennon, T. Rex and Ol' Moulty? 
It's the end, the end of the 70's 
It's the end, the end of the century

I'm Affected

When I look into your big brown eyes 
And i feel like I'm in paradise 
I wan't you by my side 
'Cause I'm affected, 'fected 
Yeah, I'm affected, 'fected 
Well I'm affected 
And all I want is you 

Didn't know it a few years ago 
But now I finally know 
I want you by my side 
I want you baby, baby, baby, baby 

Yeah, I love you and I want you to know 
Yeah, Yeah, and that's for sure 
I want you by my side 
'Cause I'm affected, 'fected

And all I want is you

Danny Says

Danny says we gotta go 
Gotta go to Idaho 
But we can't go surfin' 'cause it's 20 below 

Sound checks at 5:02 
Record stores and interviews 
Oh, but I can't wait to be with you tomorrow 

Baby 

Oho-ho-ho, we got nowhere to go 
And it may sound funny, but it's true 
Hangin' out in 100 B 
Watching Get Smart on TV 
Thinkin' about 
You and me and you and me 

Hangin' out in L.A. 
And there's nowhere to go 
It ain't Christmas if there ain't no snow 
Listening to Sheena on the radio oh-ho oh-ho

Chinese Rock

Somebody calls me on the phone 
Say hey-hey-hey is Arty home 
You wanna take a walk 
You wanna go cop 
You wanna go get some Chinese rock 

I'm livin' on a Chinese rock 
All my best things are in hock 
I'm livin' on a Chinese rock 
Everything is in the pawn shop 

The plaster fallin' of the wall 
My girlfriend cryin' in the shower stall 
It's hot as a bitch 
I should've been rich 
But I'm just diggin' a Chinese ditch

The Return Of Jackie And Judy

Jackie is a punk, Judy is a runt 
They went down to the Mudd Club 
And they both got drunk 
Oh-yeah 

Jackie is a bookie, Judy's taking loans 
They both came up to New York 
Just to see the Ramones 
Oh-yeah 

And oh, I don't know why she wrote that letter 
Oh no, oh no 
Oh I don't know why we won't forget her oh no 

Jackie's playing hookey 
Judy's playing pool 
They both got caught for cutting 
Got to go to summer school 
Oh-yeah 

Jackie's scalping tickets 
Judy's getting harassed 
They both got kicked outside 
Didn't have a backstage pass 
Oh-yeah 

And oh, I don't know why she wrote that letter 
Oh no, oh no 
Oh I don't know why, 
Don't know what's on her mind 
I don't know, no, I don't know 

But I can't stand to see her cryin' 
She's still cryin', she ain't tryin' 
She's going to get left behind 
Nobody wants you, nobody wants you

Let's Go

Don't wanna study on the G.I. bill 
Want more action, haven't had my fill 
Mercenary, fight for anyone 
Fight for money 
Fight for fun 

Let's go 

Got a country you wanna protect 
But your army is more likely to defect 
Hire my SMG with a full clip 
On automatic it's a guaranteed hit 

Let's go 

Gee it's kinda scary out here 
Mosquitos are happy tonight 
Mommy, daddy, can I please come home 
Even if just for one night 

Let's go 

Shocked how deadly we fight back 
Troublemakers who attack 
Mercenary, fight for anyone 
Fight for money, fight for fun 

Let's go

Baby, I Love You

Have I ever told you 
How good it feels to hold you 
It isn't easy to explain 

And though I'm really tryin' 
I think I may start cryin' 
My heart can't wait another day 

When you kiss me I just gotta 
Kiss me I just gotta 
Kiss me I just gotta say : 

Baby, I love you 
Come on baby 
Baby, I love you 
Baby I love, I love only you 

I can't live without you 
I love everything about you 
I can't help it if I feel this way 

Oh I'm so glad I found you 
I want my arms around you 
I love to hear you call my name 

Oh tell me that you feel 
Tell me that you feel 
Tell me that you feel the same 

Baby, I love you 
Come on baby 
Baby, I love you 
Baby I love, I love only you

I Can't Make It On Time

I can't make it on time 
I can't make it on time 
I keep tryin' and tryin' 
I can't make it on time 

I can't hurry and you can't wait 
It doesn't matter 'cause we're already late 
I can't get off the telephone 
It always rings when I'm alone 

You gotta wait wait 
'Cause you don't need no one 
Wait wait 
'Cause you know that I'm the one 
You gotta wait 
Hey, hey, hey 
Wait

This Ain't Havana

I had no advantage over you 
There was troubles and I had'em too 
Just 'cause you're so strung out 
Don't mean it can't work out 

Ba-ba-banana, this ain't Havana 
Do you like bananas, ba-ba-bananas 

Say you're a victim of society 
You ask them for your mercy 
Just like the cats in the garbage cans 
When's their time coming, man 

You better offer some resistence 
You better give up on my insistence 
Things happen overnight 
You don't give up without a fight 

Ba-ba-banana, this ain't Havana 
Do you like bananas, ba-ba-bananas 

You say you're poor and uneducated 
You ain't gotta chance 'cause you're hated 
You're on your way to life's promotion 
You hinder it with emotion 

Ba-ba-banana, this ain't Havana 
Do you like bananas, ba-ba-bananas

Rock 'n' Roll High School

Well I don't care about History 
Rock, rock, rock'n'roll high school 
'Cause that's not where I wanna be 
Rock, rock, rock'n'roll high school 
I just wanna have some kicks 
I just wanna get some chicks 
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock'n'roll high school 

Well the girls out there knock me out, you know 
Rock, rock, rock'n'roll high school 
Cruisin' around in my GTO 
Rock, rock, rock'n'roll high school 
I hate the teachers and the principal 
Don't wanna be taught to be no fool 
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock'n'roll high school 

Fun fun rock'n'roll high school 
Fun fun rock'n'roll high school 
Fun fun rock'n'roll high school 
Fun fun, oh baby

All The Way

Feedback blasting out my ears 
Makes me so high 
I love all the monitor men 
But why are they alive 
The van is making me crazy 
It's just like being in the Navy 

Doomsday, Doomsday's coming-1981 
But until things blow 
I'm gonna have some fun 
The bubble's going to explode 
Probably never live to get old 

But I just wanna have some fun 
Probably won't see no money 
I just wanna have some fun 
Before they throw me in the sanitarium 

Feedback blasting out my ears 
Makes me so high 
I love all the monitor men 
But why are they alive 
Well Monte's making me crazy 
It's just like being in the Navy

High Risk Insurance

High risk insurance 
The time is right 
High risk insurance 
The time is right 

Got endurance, I was trained 
I got my sights adjusted and my telescope aimed 

Everybody wants an explanation 
Got no love for the enemy nation 

You gotta fight to stay independent 
I got my pride and I'm gonna defend it
