Funny words I cannot read Trams and boats where Strauss is street Milky way and far out looks On your bike and Anne Frank books Down the disco it's clockworktime Where's the humour where am I This world's got smaller I'm shaking lots of hands Saying lots of things That no one understands You can shake my tree But you won't get me Where am I I think I'm go go, go go, go go Liquor store and rodeos P I X and rock and roll The freckled face the thin and fat The drive-in films and drive-in macs Strip and porno neon signs Where's the building where am I Buckingham Palace trains all late Funny little men all out in the rain Car front deals and after pubs Tenth year plays and seedy clubs Iffy people don't seem to mind Where's the action where am I
