"Blitzkrieg Bop"

Hey, ho, let's go
Hey, ho, let's go
Hey, ho, let's go
Hey, ho, let's go

They're formin' in a straight line
They're goin' through a tight wind
The kids are losin' their minds
The Blitzkrieg Bop

They're pilin' in the back seat
They're generatin' steam heat
Pulsatin' to the back beat
The Blitzkrieg Bop

Hey, ho, let's go
Shoot 'em in the back now
What they want, I don't know
They're all revved up and ready to go

They're formin' in a straight line
They're goin' through a tight wind
The kids are losin' their minds
The Blitzkrieg Bop

They're pilin' in the back seat
They're generatin' steam heat
Pulsatin' to the back beat
The Blitzkrieg Bop

Hey, ho, let's go
Shoot 'em in the back now
What they want, I don't know
They're all revved up and ready to go

They're formin' in a straight line
They're goin' through a tight wind
The kids are losin' their minds
The Blitzkrieg Bop

They're pilin' in the back seat
They're generatin' steam heat
Pulsatin' to the back beat
The Blitzkrieg Bop

Hey, ho, let's go
Hey, ho, let's go
Hey, ho, let's go
Hey, ho, let's go

"53rd & 3rd"     

If you think you can, well, come on man
I was a Green Beret in Vietnam
I said, no more of your fairy stories
'Cause I got my other worries

53rd and 3rd, standing on the street
53rd and 3rd, I'm trying to turn a trick
53rd and 3rd, you're the one they never pick
53rd and 3rd, don't it make you feel sick?

If you think you can, well, come on man

53rd and 3rd, you're the one they never pick

Then I took out my razor blade
Then I did what God forbade
Now the cops are after me
But I proved that I'm no sissy

53rd and 3rd, standing on the street
53rd and 3rd, I'm trying to turn a trick
53rd and 3rd, you're the one they never pick
