Oh, there’s something that I want to say to you
And jumping in your face just wouldn’t do
Cos summer in the sun don’t pay

And sure if crazy’s what you feel then tell a soul
Here’s something on your plate still getting cold
Well ain’t that just a crying shame

It’s hard having fun when you can’t see the sun anymore
Wasting my time and I see when you’re following me to the door

It’s hard having fun when you can’t see the sun anyway
Wasting my time and I see when you’re following me all the way

There’s Black Jacks running down my back and I said "stop"
Cos I love you baby
I fight hard and blue, with you
When I’m down and I say
There's Black Jacks running down my back and I said "stop"
Cos I love you baby
I fight hard and blue, with you
Cos you drive me crazy

New York’s nothing
Come and get stuck in
Won’t you come rocking
Cos I gotta feel,

When your beep beeps get it
Crazy don’t sweat it
Honey just forget it
If you keep to real

New York’s nothing
Come and get stuck in
Won’t you come rocking
Cos I gotta feel,

When your beep beeps get it
Crazy don’t sweat it
Honey just forget it
If you keep to real

There’s Black Jacks running down my back and I said "stop"
Cos I love you baby
I fight hard and blue, with you
When I’m down and I say
There's Black Jacks running down my back and I said "stop"
Cos I love you baby
I fight hard and blue, with you
Cos you drive me crazy


Ooowah… oowaah yeah
Ooh… ooh… ooh
Ooowah… oowaah yeah

Teacher, didn’t you know
I'm getting into the boat
These boots are making me slow
Ain’t you going too fast
The future’s selling the past
Keep on telling me so

Teacher, didn’t you know
I'm getting into the boat
These boots are making me slow
Ain’t you going too fast
The future’s selling the past
Keep on telling me so

There’s Black Jacks running down my back and I said "stop"
Cos I love you baby
I fight hard and blue, with you
When I’m down and I say
There's Black Jacks running down my back and I said "stop"
Cos I love you baby
I fight hard and blue, with you
Cos you drive me crazy


I said stop
Oo-oa-Oa-oh. Oh!
Oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-Oh!
