Hey Hey - Love Love - Yeh Yeh - Ah Ha
 Freddies dead, that's what i said.
 Let the man read, the plan, said it singing home
 But his home was a rope and he should've known.
 
 Everybody's misused him, ripped him up and abused him.
 Another junkie plan, pushin' dope for the man.
 A terrible blow, but that's how it goes.
 A freddies on the corner now.

 If you want to be a junkie wow.
 Remember freddies dead.
 We're all built up with progress
 But sometimes i must confess.

 We can deal with rockets and dreams
 But reality, what does it mean?
 Ain't nothing said, cause freddies dead.
 Hey Hey-Love Love-Ha Ha-Love Love-He Hey-Ha Ha-Yeh Yeh

 Freddies dead
 All i want is some peace of mind
 With a little love i'm trying to find.
 This could be such a beautiful world, with a wonderful girl.

 I need a woman child. Don't want to be like freddie now.
 'Cause freddies dead
 Everybody's misused him, ripped him up and abused him.
 Another junkie plan, pushin' dope for the man.

 A freddies on the corner now.
 If you want to be a junkie why, remember freddies dead.
 Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha freddies dead
 Hey Hey - Ha Ha - Love Love - Ha Ha
