Lyrics
Hey! We took a trip by boat Into the promised land To sing a different note Man I don't understand We wanted their attention Our balls went up so high They wanted too much Poison And Warrant's Cherry Pie It's a crying, crying, crying shame We didn't have no dough We didn't have no clue We lived a life of kings Dined on some royal stew We felt like shitty rockstars Our pictures on the wall We're Robby's pekaloids Running silly down the hall I wanna go home now Back to my old hometown Where I can sing the blues Let's stop this running around I miss the people dancing I'm (just) saying this But, baby you can bet your puwet I'll do it again some time for the money Combo on the run, yeah! It's a crying, crying, crying shame It's a downright shame! (Well) I'm saying this but, baby you can bet your puwet I'll do it again sometime for the money Combo on the run
