1982 Lyrics
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this morning
Could have sworn it was judgement day
The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' everywhere (Oooooh)
Tryin' to run from the destruction
You know I didn't even care (Oooooh)
Darling, you got to let me know
(I want candy) (Come on)
(Hey!)
Should I stay, or should I go?
(I want candy) (Come on)
(Hey!)
Dee bam bam dilla, bam bam
(I want candy) (Come on)
(Hey!)
Dee bam bam dilla, bam bam (Yeah, yeah)
(I want candy) (Come on)
(Hey!)
Yeah, yeah
Get up, get up, get up, get up (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (Yeah, yeah)
Ooooh (Oooooh!)
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this morning
Could have sworn it was judgement day
The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' everywhere (Oooooh)
Tryin' to run from the destruction
You know I didn't even care (Oooooh)
Darling, you got to let me know
(I want candy) (Come on)
(Hey!)
Should I stay, or should I go?
(I want candy) (Come on)
(Hey!)
Dee bam bam dilla, bam bam
(I want candy) (Come on)
(Hey!)
Dee bam bam dilla, bam bam (Yeah, yeah)
(I want candy) (Come on)
(Hey!)
Yeah, yeah
Get up, get up, get up, get up (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (Yeah, yeah)
Ooooh (Oooooh!)
Don’t make me wait
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Watch out, boy, she'll chew you up
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
She's a maneater
(Don’t make me wait)
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Watch out, boy, she'll chew you up
(Oh-oh, here she comes)

Last night a DJ saved my life
Last night a DJ saved my life from a broken heart
We gotta rock it, don't stop it
We gotta rock it, don't stop (Woo!)
We gotta rock it, don't stop it
We gotta rock it (Rock the casbah)
Sharif don't like it

(Don’t make me wait)
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Watch out, boy, she'll chew you up
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
She's a maneater
Last night a DJ saved my life
Last night a DJ saved my life from a broken heart
We gotta rock it, don't stop it
We gotta rock it, don't stop (Woo!)
We gotta rock it, don't stop it
We gotta rock it (Rock the casbah)
Sharif don't like it
(We gotta rock it, don't stop)
Rock it, don't stop it
