There's no stoppin' the cretins from hoppin'
You gotta keep it beatin' for all the hoppin' cretins
Cretin! Cretin!

I'm gonna go for a whirl with my cretin girl
My feet won't stop doing the cretin hop
Cretin! Cretin!

1 - 2 - 3 - 4
Cretins wanna hop some more
4 - 5 - 6 - 7
All good cretins go to heaven

There's no stoppin' the cretins from hoppin'
You gotta keep it beatin' for all the hoppin' cretins
Cretin! Cretin!

My feet won't stop doing the cretin hop
Cretin! Cretin!

1 - 2 - 3 - 4
Cretins wanna hop some more

Chewin' out a rhythm on my bubble gum
The sun is out and I want some
It's not hard, not far to reach
We can hitch a ride
To Rockaway Beach
Up on the roof, out on the street
Down in the playground, the hot concrete
Bus ride is too slow
They blast out the disco on the radio

Rock, rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock, rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock, rock, Rockaway Beach
We can hitch a ride
To Rockaway Beach

Rock, rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock, rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock, rock, Rockaway Beach
We can hitch a ride
To Rockaway Beach

It's not hard, not far to reach
We can hitch a ride
To Rockaway beach
It's not hard, not far to reach
We can hitch a ride
To Rockaway beach

Chewin' out a rhythm on my bubble gum
The sun is out and I want some
It's not hard, not far to reach
We can hitch a ride
To Rockaway Beach
Up on the roof, out on the street
Down in the playground, the hot concrete
Bus ride is too slow
They blast out the disco on the radio

Rock, rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock, rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock, rock, Rockaway Beach
We can hitch a ride

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I love you
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I love you
I do, I do

But I told her why we just can't make it
I want you still but just can't take it
The time has come we oughta break it
Someone has to pay the price

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
It's over
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
It's true, it's true

And I think of times we were together
As time went on it seemed forever
But times have changed
Now things are better
Someone had to pay the price

Lovely lovely locket love
You could use a little of
Hang a chain around you
You're hangin' too
Hang on a little bit longer
Hang on you're a goner

Lovely lovely locket love
Cause a picture never does
Try to expose you
For what you put me through
Hang on a little bit longer
Hang on you're a goner

Never never can tell
How hard you fell
Lovely lovely locket 'cause
The best poison of

Lovely lovely locket love
You got a pocket of
Lovely little tricks you do
Now I'm hangin' too
Hang on a little bit longer
Hang on you're a goner

Well the kids are all hopped up and ready to go
They're ready to go now

Oh yeah, oh yeah.

We're a happy family
We're a happy family
We're a happy family
Me, Mom and Daddy

We're a happy family
We're a happy family
We're a happy family
Me, Mom and Daddy

Sitting here in Queens
Eating refried beans
We're in all the magazines
Gulpin' down thorazines
We ain't got no friends
Our troubles never end
No Christmas cards to send
Daddy likes men

Daddy's telling lies
Baby's eating flies
Mommy's on pills
Baby's got the chills
I'm friends with the President
I'm friends with the Pope
We're all making a fortune
Selling Daddy's dope

Sitting here in Queens
Eating refried beans
We're in all the magazines
Gulpin' down thorazines
We ain't got no friends
Our troubles never end
No Christmas cards to send
Daddy likes men

We're a happy family
We're a happy family
We're a happy family
Me, Mom and Daddy

We're a happy family
We're a happy family
We're a happy family
Me, Mom and Daddy

Lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy!
DDT did a job on me
Now I am a real sickie
Guess I'll have to break the news
That I got no mind to lose
All the girls are in love with me
I'm a teenage lobotomy

Slugs and snails are after me
DDT keeps me happy
Now I guess I'll have to tell 'em
That I got no cerebellum
Gonna get my Ph.D.
I'm a teenage lobotomy

[repeat]

Do you wanna dance and hold my hand?
Tell me baby I'm your lover man

Squeeze me baby all through the night
Oh baby, do you wanna dance?

Hey Johnny, hey Dee Dee
Little Tom and Joey
You know we're comin' over
Sweet sweet little Ramona

You're getting better and better
It's getting easier than ever
Hey you kids in the crowd
You know you like it when the music's loud.

Sweet sweet little Ramona
She always wants to come over
Sweet sweet little Ramona
I think I'll try and phone her

I let her in if you're wondering why
Cause she's a spy for the BBI
I let her in and I started to cry
And then I knew I wanted to die

Oooh, little Ramona
Oooh, little Ramona
Oooh, little Ramona
Oooh

Sweet sweet little Ramona
She always wants to come over
Sweet sweet little Ramona

Hey, hey, hey
Why is it always this way?

Last time I saw her alive
She was wavin', wavin' bye-bye
She was contemplating suicide
Now she's lying
In a bottle of formaldehyde
And oh, I just don't know
Why I can't let her go
Oh, I just don't know

Hey, hey, hey
Why is it always this way?

Last time I saw her alive
She was going to the wash and dry
She was outside hitchin' a ride
Now she's lying
In a bottle of formaldehyde
