"Fuckin' Riptides are on the TV, Ramones on the radio.
We've been drinking fifties and making out now,
Since we met at my show.(Shoo wop-wop. Shoo wop-wop)
And I tell ya, I wish the night would never end (Shoo wop-wop. Shoo wop-wop)
And then you kill me and say, 'Why can't we be friends?'"

You let me take you, masturbate, and show you to my band.
(Shoo Wop-wop. Shoo Wop-wop) And I tell ya, that my heart will never end,
(Shoo Wop-wop. Shoo Wop-wop) Because you broke it,
And said 'Why Can't we stay friends?'"

You're acting just like Veronica Lodge, now, being such a snob.
