We’re just tryin’ to be friendly
Come and watch us sing and play
We’re the young generation
And we’ve got something to say
I’m not trying to ‘cause a big s-s-sensation
I’m just talkin’ 'bout my g-g-g-generation
Take away the sensation inside
Bitter sweet migraine in my head
'Cause I’m sick of myself when I look at you
something is beautiful and true.
World that’s ugly and a lie
it’s hard to even want to try.
I’m beginning to think
maybe you don’t know.
And I was walking down the street one day,
Being pushed and shoved by people trying to beat the clock,
oh, no I just don’t know, I don’t know
I don’t know could’ve been a lame jogger maybe
Or someone just about to do the freeway strangler baby
Shopping cart pusher or maybe someone groovy
One thing’s for sure, he isn’t starring in the movies
‘Cause he’s walkin’ in L.A.
Walkin’ in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Feeling groovey…
It made us feel so groovy,
We fell in love, just like in the movies.
Well, I hope you come and see me in the movie
Then I’ll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that’s ever hit the big time
And all I got to do is act naturally.
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
We’re so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside.
Bill----y Shearrrrssss-----
Billy, don’t be a hero
Don’t be a fool with your life
Billy, don’t be a hero
Come back and make me your wife
The day Billy Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahassee bridge…
Oh can’t you see me standing here,
I’ve got my back against the record machine.
I ain’t the worst that you’ve seen,
Oh can’t you see what I mean?
Might as well jump. Jump!
Jump around! Jump around! Jump around!
Jump up, jump up and get down!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
You can climb a mountain, you can swim the sea
You can jump into the fire but you’ll never be free, no no
You can shake me up or I can break you down
Feel like I been run through the mill
I can’t move around and I can’t stand still
I’m so jittery
And I’m shakin’
Well shake it up baby now,
Shake it up baby,
Twist and shout!
Let’s do the twist…
Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron
