    Hey punk, where you goin' with that
    Flower in your hand?
    Hey punk, where you goin' with that

    Well, i'm goin' up to frisco to join a
    Psychedelic band.
    I'm goin' up to frisco to join a
    Psychedelic band.

    Hey punk, where you goin' with that
    Button on your shirt?
    Hey punk, where you goin' with that
    Button on your shirt?

    I'm goin' to the love-in to sit & play
    My bongos in the dirt.
    Yes, i'm goin' to the love-in to sit & play
    My bongos in the dirt.

    Hey punk, where you goin' with that
    Hair on your head?
    Hey punk, where you goin' with that
    Hair on your head?

    I'm goin' to the dance to get some action,
    Then i'm goin' home to bed.
    I'm goin' to the dance to get some action,
    Then i'm goin' home to bed.

    Hey punk, where you goin' with those
    Beads around your neck?
    Hey punk, where you goin' with those
    Beads around your neck?

    I'm goin' to the shrink so he can help me
    Be a nervous wreck...

    (just at this moment, the 2700
    Microgram dose of stp ingested by
    Flower punk shortly before the
    Song began takes effect: before
    Your very ears his head blows up...
    Leaving a bizarre audial residue all over
    Your teen-age record player!)
    Hey punk! hey punk! hey punk!
    Punky! punk! hey punk! punky!
    Come and go...come and go...
    Polly, do i ever have a lot of soul?
    I think i love you!
    Questi dominga?
    Have you seen that nose eating?
    I wanna know for sure!
    Leave my nose alone please!
    What 're you trying to do?
    Listen! ...

    This is one of the most
    Exciting things that's ever
    Happened to me
    You know, every time i think
    About how lucky i am to be in
    The rock & roll industry
    It's so exciting
    You know, when i first got into
    The rock & roll business
    I could barely even play the
    Changes to this song on my, on
    My guitar
    But now i'm very professional
    I can play the guitar
    I can strum it rhythmically
    I can sing along with my guitar
    As i strum

    I can strum, sing, dance,
    I can make merry fun all over
    The stage
    And you know, it's so wonderful
    To...
    It's wonderful to feel that i'm
    Doing something for the kids
    Because i know that the kids
    And their music are where it's
    At

    The youth of america today is
    So wonderful
    And i'm proud to be a part of
    This gigantic mass deception

    I hope she sees me thrilling,
    Yes...
    I hope she sees me dancing and
    Thrilling

    I will say: "hello dolly!"

    Is the song over?
    Boy, this is really exciting,
    Making a rock & roll record
    I can't even wait until our
    Record comes out and teen-agers
    Start to buy it

    We'll all be rich and famous!

    And when my royalty check comes
    I think i'm going to buy a
    Mustang
    No, i think i'll...i think i'll
    Get a corvette
    No, i think i'll get a harley
    Davidson
    No, i don't think i'll buy any
    Of those cars
    I think what i will do is i
    Will buy both
    No, i don't do that either
    I think, ah, i'll go into real
    Estate
    I think i'd like to...
    I think i'd like to buy a house
    In ... boulevard
    No, that wouldn't do any good
    Gee, i wonder if they can see
    Me up here, twirling that
    Tambourine and dancing...

    Maybe after the show
    One of the girls who sees me up
    Here, singing and thrilling my
    Tambourine and dancing, will
    Like me
    And she will come over to me
    And i will walk
    I will walk up to her and i
    Will smile at her
    And i will impress her and i
    Will say: "hello, baby,
    What's a girl like you doing in
    A place like this?
    I'm from a rock & roll band,
    I think we should..."
    Is the song over?
