> [@RivkahChaya](#): > > Did someone add this and I missed it? “Gooble gobble, one of us!” **RivkahChaya:** Could that be a corruption of some words from “Pinhead” by the Ramones? The line actually goes, “Gabba gabba we accept you, we accept you one of us!” ---

> [@brujaja](#): > > The line actually goes, “Gabba gabba we accept you, we accept you one of us!” Actually, [“Gooble gobble”](“born out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States.”) is correct. It is combined with “We accept her” and/or “One of us!” in different orders during the course of the song. ---
