Wall of Voodoo

Hey-ho, Daddy's home! 
Heeeerrrreeee's Johnny!!!
Where did everybody go??!! 
Goodbye Chicago, 
goodbye Miami skies, 
"ground control to Major Tom, 
my soul been psychodelisized..."

They say the grass is greener 
on the other side of the fence 
and the meat is sweeter, 
it takes two to do the dance. 
Man, the girl is a dream! 
I ain't seen one like that since...

Well, the girl from New York 
digs Peter Tork and the girls 
from Milwaukee do the Walkie-Talkie. 
Cheerleaders in Atlanta do the 
boom-shagga-lagga, shouting 
"V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!!!" 
They walk and they walk and 
they talk and they talk and
theywalkandtheywalkandthey
talkandtheytalkandtheywalkand
theywalkandtheytalkandtheytalk 
all night to get it right, but inside

They say the grass is greener
on the other side of the fence 
and the meat is sweeter, 
it takes two to do the dance. 
Man, the girl is a dream!

Jimmy's dad says 
"son, there's a small hotel, 
two high on Ten High 
and Chantilly. Man! I love the 
smell of another man's life. 
I love the smell of another man's wife. 
Strike while the iron's hot. 
I know it's wrong, but I can't stop. 
I love your mom, but I'm a bum and
hey, c'mon..."
