Gracie Slick is losing her door mouse
My woodie’s broken down by the beach now

and immigration wants John and Yoko
All they need is love, to keep them warm

With those waves
singing “Caroline No”
Rollin’ down
that empty ocean road
Gettin’ to the surf on time.

“Jackie Wilson said
It was ‘Reet Petite’
Kinda love you got
