[Intro] This one's called "Beat Crazy" One, two, three, four [Verse 1: Joe Jackson & Graham Maby] Kids today They're all the same All call themselves Some crazy name Yeah! Mods and Rockers and Beatle freaks Punks and skunks and kooks and geeks You're looking in a mirror but you can't see your face, huh! Look in a mirror but you can't see your face [Verse 2: Joe Jackson & Graham Maby] All those drugs They can't be sane All that noise Affects their brains Yes! Smoking pot, sniffing glue Whatever terrible things they do Smoking LSD and such It must be the reason why they can't talk much [Chorus: Joe Jackson & Graham Maby] And it's such a crime How they waste thеir time They can't get nowhеre They've all gone beat crazy Beat crazy [Verse 3: Joe Jackson & Graham Maby] They say the world Is in a mess But they can talk The way they dress Yeah! See the knee through the hole in their jeans Hole in their pocket and it looks so mean Hole in your T-shirt, what's that you said? About as clever as a hole in the head [Verse 4: Joe Jackson & Graham Maby] Can't get no jobs Can't get careers With safety pins Stuck through their ears Yeah! Cut your hair, dye it green See it shine with Brylcreem A little dab'll do ya, a little dab a day Or rub a dub it in a dreadlocks way [Chorus: Joe Jackson & Graham Maby] And it's such a crime How they waste their time They can't get nowhere They've all gone beat crazy Beat crazy [Verse 5: Joe Jackson & Graham Maby] And if the Russians Ever come They'll all be beating Bongo drums Damn, beatniks rule! Dropped out of kindergarten, dropped out of school Really hot on the bongo drums, rrr Really hot on the bongo drums [Verse 5: Joe Jackson & Graham Maby] So who'll defend In World War Three Where could we turn? Where would they be? Tell her! Down the cellar, filled with smoke Laughing at the latest joke Doing the latest dance to do The Frug and the Shimmy and the Suzy Q [Chorus: Joe Jackson & Graham Maby] And it's such a crime How they waste their time They can't get nowhere They've all gone beat crazy Beat crazy [Outro: Joe Jackson, Joe Jackson & Graham Maby] You look in a mirror but you can't see your face Beat crazy Ooh, it's an oogee bop with a red strap rock Beat crazy Oh, ba ba ba ba Beat crazy
