[Verse 1]

Ain't no doubt Jesus sees us

Acting foolishly on American Band Stand

Agog with spastic baskets, the latest fashions

Here I am, here I am, here I am

But that chin music sound, oh, how it drown

You gotta shake 'em on down


[Bridge]

Scaling up the heights of folly (Na-na-na, na-na-na)

Scaling up the heights of folly (Na-na-na, na-na-na)


[Verse 2]

Kill the lights and bring the music down

Everybody be quiet

Sudden movement on the Serengeti, get ready, Freddy

Opportunity only knocks once

Never mind the fat ones, just go for the slow ones

See how they run, see how they run, see how they run


[Pre-Chorus]

While you were busy lighting Roman candles on the yellowcake

They shook you on down

When the rains start falling, boatman calling

Shake 'em on down


[Chorus 2]

The flood receding

The mountain appears

Send out the black bird, send out the dove


[Verse 3]

You Babel rabble-rousers in polyester trousers

Big bright cities

Ain't no doubt Vishnu missed you, then Kali kissed you

Better get busy, better get busy, better get busy

Days get shorter, air gets colder

Tune on in to the N.O.A.A. radio


[Bridge]

Scaling up the heights of folly (yeah-ha-ha)

Scaling up the heights of folly (Na-na-na, na-na-na)


[Pre-Chorus]

While you were busy lighting Roman candles on the yellowcake

They shook you on down

When the rains start falling, boatman calling

Shake 'em on down

While you were busy lighting Roman candles on the yellowcake

They shook you on down

When the rains start falling, boatman calling

Shake 'em on down


[Chorus 2]

The flood receding

The mountain appears

Send out the black bird, send out the dove
