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
