	The Kingsmen came together in a garage, they could hardly even play
	But they practiced night and day pretty soon they got to where they could really play that song Louie, Louie
	So, they saved up all the money from the shows
	Went in to one of them studios and gave their version of the song a try.
	Now, I don't know the words to that song Louie, Louie and I'm pretty sure the singer for the Kingsmen didn't know 'em either
	If he did know 'em he didn't get 'em right on the record
	'Cause on the record they sound jumbled in his jaw
	It says, me think of me girl oh so constantly
	Ahmayaaah makaaaah aahh ooohoooh aaaaah.
	Well, that last part scared everybody from the PTA to the FBI
	You see, the kids had been going kind of crazy lately and it seemed like nobody could figure out why
	So they decided to form a coalition, launch an investigation, you know for the children, they at least had to try
	To figure out the words to Louie, Louie.
	It's the feel good hit of this endless summer
	It gets these kids out of control
	Singin' along to that star spangled bummer
	Hail, hail, rock and roll.
	Marilyn Manson's real name isn't even Marilyn Manson
	He's a skinny public high school Kid from Florida
	not some monster from out of this world and like of a lot other skinny long hair public High school kidsH was sick of getting beaten up by the pulling guard all week only to go out on the weekend
	And watch the Quarterback get all the girls so he formed a band, man
	Now' he gets all the girls, a few years later a couple of latchkey kids go tragically
	Mad and everybody's standing around the television store at the mall trying to figure out what went wrong
	This guy says, you think the life of a kid going to high school could've gotten so bad this other guy says nah
	It's just the words to one of them goddamn Marilyn Manson songs, you know the one.
	It's the feel good hit of this endless summer
	It gets these kids out of control
	Singin' along to that star spangled bummer
	Hail, hail, rock and roll.
	You know, every ten years or so our country and some other little country
	We start firing all of our newest weapons
	At each other for some reason or another, right or wrong
	Like it or not, it happens, and when it happens
	People get shot and when people get shot
	They show it on tv a lot every night at six o clock
	And you don't even have to be eighteen to see it you don't even have to be in first grade
	First grade where they teach the kid pride
	They tell him he'll need to thrive
	In a world where only the strong will survive
	So he's taught the art of more
	To compare to and to keep score Monday thru Friday while
	He stares at the floor til' Sunday they make him go to
	School once more only this time they make him wear a suit and a tie
	And listen to some guy who claims to know Where people go
	When they die tell him that only the meek are gonna inherit the earth Well shit
	By this time the kid doesn't know what anything
	Is worth, now brothers and sisters I am only one guy
	And I don't even know the words to that song Louie Louie
	But I can tell you right now without batting an eye
	That the next time some latchkey kid goes wrong
	It aint gonna be cause that Eminem gets to say the word Fag in his song
	And I'm not trying to preach to ya either
	I'm just trying to sing to ya too, you know string a few words together.
	Hey kids
	Let's get it on
	Let's get it on.
