Hold on to your head, hold on to your hat
You're screaming down the alley and never coming back
Oh yeah

Get out of my bed, get out of the sack
Don't give me no lip, don't you give me no crap
No way

Get out of the madhouse, tear it all down
Get out of the madhouse, burn it to the ground

Got to, got to get out

Yeah

Get out of my face, get out of my shack
Now you've had a fair share, now you've had a fair whack

Hold on to your butt, hold on to your hat
You're heading out of here and never coming back

We'll never make it, don't you fake it
You're getting loaded, I'm getting goaded

Come on, baby

Hold on to your heart, hold on to your hat
Don't give me no shit, don't you give me no crap

Hold on to your head, don't give me no rap
I've had it up to here with your yakety yak

You're getting loaded, I'm getting goaded
We'll never make, don't you fake it

I'm over with you, baby

Get up, get out
Get up
