[Intro: David Lee Roth]

Alright, you sinners, swing


[Verse 1: David Lee Roth]

Danger in the rearview mirror, there's trouble in the wind

Badness bringin' up the rear, the menace is loose again

She looks so fuckin' good, so sexy and so frail

Something got the bite on me, I'm goin' straight to hell

[Pre-Chorus: Van Halen & David Lee Roth]

And now we're wastin' time

Now we're wastin' time

Same old pickup lines

Same old pickup lines

And you keep tryin'

Don't waste time


[Verse 2: David Lee Roth]

Uh, come back to your senses, baby, we can come to terms

I can almost t-taste it, it burns

You'd be sittin' pretty, but you try to take the fifth

Wearin' out my welcome, guess I better save my breath

[Pre-Chorus: Van Halen & David Lee Roth]

And now we're wastin' time

Now we're wastin' time

Same old pickup lines

Same old pickup lines

And you keep tryin'

But you keep tryin'

Don't waste time


[Chorus: Van Halen]

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Get, get, get, get, get out and push


[Guitar Solo: Eddie Van Halen]


[Chorus: Van Halen]

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Get, get, get, get, get out and push


[Verse 3: David Lee Roth]

Soon you'll see my silhouette a-darkenin' your door

I can almost t-taste it, I want more

No one's above suspicion, no one's got it wired

I may burn my fingers, want my iron in that fire

[Pre-Chorus: Van Halen & David Lee Roth]

And now we're wastin' time

Now we're wastin' time

Same old pickup lines

Same old pickup lines

And you keep tryin'

But you keep tryin'

Don't waste time

[Outro: Van Halen & David Lee Roth]

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Babe, get back, get out and push

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Get, get, get, get out and push

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Get back, get out and push

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Ah, babe

Get, get, get, get, get out and push

Alright, you sinners, swing
