[Verse 1]

They headed southward from San Francisco

To be with Chuckles and the others

With electric in the air and peroxide in their hair

They looked like golden brothers


[Verse 2]

They drove a Datsun, an automatic

The radio blaring static

Made a face into the light and burst out laughing at the sight

The hysteria ensuing would dominate the night


[Instrumental Break 01:38-02:42]

[Verse 3]

From all the candy, the seats were sticky

As they were drawn into the Grapevine

Then "Introduce Yourself" came on

As the barreled through the fog

The demon puffing madly on a mentholated log


[Verse 4]

They were tired, they were sleepy

So they parked behind the Roxy

Adam went to use the phone, so they sat there all alone

When Adam's voice came beaming through on the radio

He started laughing, he started laughing


[Bridge]

La-da-da, hey, hey

Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha, hey

Do-do-do-day-dum

Da-da-daa-da, da-da-daa-da

Da-da-daa-da-day-da

Da-da-daa-da, da-da-daa-da

Da-da-daa day-day-day


[Instrumental Break 03:28-06:19]
