Polkas On 45 Lyrics
["Jocko Homo" by Devo]
They tell us that we lost our tails
Evolving up from little snails
I say it's all just wind and sails
Are we not men, we are Devo
Are we not men, D E V O
["Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple]
Smoke on the water
And fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
["Sex (I'm A)" by Berlin]
(I'm a man) I'm a boy
(I'm a man) Well, I'm your mother
(I'm a man) I'm a one night stand
(I'm a man) Am I bi?
(I'm a man) I'm your slave
(I'm a man) I'm a little girl when we make love together
["Hey Jude" by The Beatles]
Hey, hey, hey
Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it
Better, better, better, better, better, better, yeah
They tell us that we lost our tails
Evolving up from little snails
I say it's all just wind and sails
Are we not men, we are Devo
Are we not men, D E V O
["Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple]
Smoke on the water
And fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
["Sex (I'm A)" by Berlin]
(I'm a man) I'm a boy
(I'm a man) Well, I'm your mother
(I'm a man) I'm a one night stand
(I'm a man) Am I bi?
(I'm a man) I'm your slave
(I'm a man) I'm a little girl when we make love together
["Hey Jude" by The Beatles]
Hey, hey, hey
Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it
Better, better, better, better, better, better, yeah
["L.A. Woman" by The Doors]
L. A. Woman, you're my woman
Got my mojo risin', Mr. Mojo risin', hey
["In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly]
In-a-gada-da-vida, honey
Don't you know that I love you?
In-a-gada-da-vida, baby
Don't you know that I'll always be true?
["Hey Joe" by Jimi Hendrix]
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Gonna shoot my old lady
Caught her messin' 'round with another man
Yoddle-ay-ee, yoddle-ay-he-hoo
Yoddle-ay-ee, yoddle-ay-he-hoo
Yoddle-ay-ee, yoddle-ay-he-hoo
Yoddle-ay he-hoo

Yoddle-ay-ee, yoddle-ay-he-hoo
Yoddle-ay-ee, yoddle-ay-he-hoo
Yoddle-ay he-hoo
["Burning Down the House" by Talking Heads]
I'm an ordinary guy burnin' down the house
L. A. Woman, you're my woman
Got my mojo risin', Mr. Mojo risin', hey
["In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly]
In-a-gada-da-vida, honey
Don't you know that I love you?
In-a-gada-da-vida, baby
Don't you know that I'll always be true?
["Hey Joe" by Jimi Hendrix]
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Gonna shoot my old lady
Caught her messin' 'round with another man
Yoddle-ay-ee, yoddle-ay-he-hoo
Yoddle-ay-ee, yoddle-ay-he-hoo
Yoddle-ay-ee, yoddle-ay-he-hoo

I'm hot blooded, check it and see
Got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on, baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm hot blooded, hot blooded
["Every Breath You Take" by The Police]
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take
I'll be watchin' you
["Should I Stay Or Should I Go" by The Clash]
Darling, you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I'll be here 'til the end of time
But you gotta let me know, woah, woah, woah
Should I stay or should I go?
["Jumpin' Jack Flash" by The Rolling Stones]
But it's all right now, in fact it's a gas
But it's all right, Jumpin' Jack Flash is a gas, gas, gas
["My Generation" by The Who]
People try to put us down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
This is my generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
This is my generation, baby (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
My, my, my, my, my, my generation (My generation)
Well, talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-generation
I'm hot blooded, check it and see
Got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on, baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm hot blooded, hot blooded
["Every Breath You Take" by The Police]
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take
I'll be watchin' you

Darling, you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
