[Intro]

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la


[Verse 1]

Meanie Leanie, come on down

Come and entertain the town

It's Friday night and we're all bored

Time's been called, there is no more

Time's been called, it's such a bore


[Chorus]

Dan Abnormal, not normal at all

It's not his fault, we made him this way

He'll imitate you, try to ape you

But it's not his fault, Dan watches TV

TV, TV, TV


[Verse 2]

The Meanie Leanie stays up late

Mopes around, gets in a state

He's the killer in your arcade

Shooting gangster ready-made

'Cause that is where the future's made


[Chorus]

Dan Abnormal, not normal at all

It's not his fault, we made him this way

He'll imitate you, try to ape you

But it's not his fault, Dan watches TV

TV, TV, TV (Teleport me)

TV, TV, TV (Teleport me)


[Bridge]

Dan went to his local burger bar

"I want McNormal and chips

Or I'll blow you to bits, give us it"


[Verse 3]

It's the miseries at half-past three

Watching video nasties

He has dirty dreams when he's asleep

'Cause Dan's just like you and me

He's the Meanie Leanie (All together now)


[Chorus]

Dan Abnormal, not normal at all

It's not his fault, we made him this way

He'll imitate you, try to ape you

But it's not his fault, Dan watches TV

Dan Abnormal, not normal at all

Oh it's not his fault, we made him this way

He'll imitate you, try to ape you

But it's not his fault, Dan Abnormal's me


[Outro]

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
