Lyrics

Ken

[Intro]

Wow!

[Verse 1]

We look to the left and to the right

We need help but nobody's in sight

Where is the man that we all need?

Well, tell him he's to come and rescue me

[Chorus]

Do-do-n-do-do-n-do-dow

Do-do-n-do-do-n-do-dow

Ken is the man that we all need

Ken is the leader of the GLC

[Post-Chorus]

Now, head 'em up

Rope 'em in

Move 'em out

Now, can't you see

That we need the leader of the GLC

[Chorus]

Do-do-n-do-do-n-do-dow

Do-do-n-do-do-n-do-dow

Ken is the man that we all need

Ken is the leader of the GLC

[Verse 2]

Who is the man we all need? Ken!

Who is the funky sex machine? Ken!

Who is the leader of the GLC? Ken!

Who is the man we all need? Ken!

[Post-Chorus]

Now, head 'em up

Rope 'em in

Move 'em out Ken!

Now can't you see

Ah-ah-ah-ah

[Chorus]

Do-do-n-do-do-n-do-dow

Do-do-n-do-do-n-do-dow

Ken is the man that we all need

Ken is the leader of the GLC

[Interlude]

Who is the man we all need? Ken!

Ken!

[Chorus]

Do-do-n-do-do-n-do-dow

Do-do-n-do-do-n-do-dow

Ken is the man that we all need

Ken is the leader of the GLC
