Well, that’s the way that I want it to stay  
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola  
La-la-la-la Lola

Girls will be boys and boys will be girls  
It’s a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world, except for Lola  
La-la-la-la Lola

Dance all night, keep the beat  
Don’t you worry 'bout two left feet

Shake it up  
Shake it up, ooh yeah  
Shake it up  
Shake it up

Give yourself a chance

Shake shake shake, shake shake shake  
Shake your booty, shake your booty  
Oh, shake shake shake, shake shake shake  
Shake your booty, shake your booty

Boom-boom, acka-lacka boom-boom.

The blonde waitresses take their trays  
They spin around and they cross the floor  
They’ve got the moves (oh ay oh)  
You drop your drink, then they bring you more

All the school kids so sick of books  
They like the punk and the metal band  
When the buzzer rings (oh ay oh)  
They’re walking like an Egyptian

Now Hobnail Kelly and the Beefcake Kid  
Just rolled into town from the land of sewn up faces  
Looking for a woman who can punch and kick and bite

‘Slide on down to the Egypt Room  
Find the only woman who’s holding all the aces  
The princess is dancing at the Egypt Room tonight’

Fab Five Freddy told me everybody’s fly  
DJ spinnin’ I said, “My my”  
Flash is fast, Flash is cool  
François c’est pas, Flash ain’t no dude  
And you don’t stop, sure shot  
Go out to the parking lot

Here we come, walkin’ down the street  
We get the funniest looks from ev’ry one we meet  
Hey, hey, we’re the Monkees  
And people say we monkey around  
But we’re too busy singing  
To put anybody down

Through early morning fog I see  
Visions of the things to be  
The pains that are withheld for me  
I realize and I can see

That suicide is painless  
It brings on many changes  
And I can take or leave it  
If I please

Romeo and Juliet  
Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)  
40, 000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet)

Another 40, 000 coming everyday (we can be like they are)  
Come on, baby (don’t fear the reaper)

Forty thousand headmen couldn’t make me change my mind  
If I had to take the choice between the deaf man and the blind  
I know just where my feet should go and that’s enough for me  
I turned around and knocked them down and walked across the sea

Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers  
Leave all your love and your longing behind  
You can’t carry it with you if you want to survive

How about a nice close shave?  
Teach your whiskers to behave  
Lots of lather, lots of soap  
Please hold still, don’t be a dope  
Now we’re ready for the scrapin’  
There’s no use to try escapin’  
Yell and scream and rant and rave  
There’s no use, you need a shave!

There, you’re nice and clean  
Although your face looks like it might-have-gone-through-a-machine…
