Well, up popped that first Cool Cat  
He said, "My, look at that,  
"Man, do you see what I see?  
“I want that little chick”  
“I want that middle chick”  
“Hey, mon, save one chick for me”

I don’t wanna be a chicken

I don’t wanna be a duck…

So I shake my butt…

(Repeat “ “ over and over til you wanna die. It’s a preschool song we all run turn off if it comes on the kids channel!)

Hey, daddy-o  
I don’t wanna go down to the basement  
There’s somethin’ down there  
I don’t wanna go

(You can’t have “I (don’t) wanna” without getting the Ramones into the action.)

I wasn’t expecting this  
Now everything is destroyed  
Underneath us are the nothings  
Underneath them is a void

Beyond that void is a place  
Where figments from bad dreams are banished  
Childhood nightmares all come seeking  
And adult logic nearly vanished

Chaos

Hush, little baby, don’t say a word  
And never mind that noise you heard  
It’s just the beasts under your bed  
In your closet, in your head

Exit light  
Enter night  
Grain of sand

Help  
There’s a monster under my bed (Ha-ha-ha-ha)  
And I think that he might want me dead  
He said, if I let him go I’ll regret  
All of the damage he’s done to my head

I was born one morning when the sun didn’t shine  
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine  
I loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal  
And the straw boss said, “Well-a bless my soul!”

Well, they’ll stone you when you’re tryin’ to be so good  
They’ll stone you just like they said they would  
They’ll stone you when you’re trying to go home  
Then they’ll stone you when you’re there all alone

Everybody must get stoned

Blame it on the bossa nova with its magic spell  
Blame it on the bossa nova that he did so well  
Oh, it all began with just one little dance  
But then it ended up a big romance  
Blame it on the bossa nova  
The dance of love

Who’s to blame when parties really get out of hand?  
Who’s to blame when they get poorly planned?

Crashers get bombed, slobs make a mess  
You know sometimes they’ll even ruin your wife’s dress  
Crashers getttin’ bombed  
Who’s to blame?  
Can you pull it back in line?  
Can you salvage it in time?  
What can you do to save a party?  
Parcheesi, charades?  
A spur-of-the-moment scavenger hunt  
Or Queen of the Nile? (aah, who turned out the lights?)
