Bang, bang, bang, bang!

It's 8:02, the coffee's cold
Shove it down and hit the road
Pressed and neat, let's kill the streets
Jump to the rhythm of the traffic flow

Punch the clock, I'm right on time
Boss is smilin', feelin' fine
Telephone's ringin', Telex singin'
And the hips of the secretary pass by swingin'

Round about noon you can take a little break
Maybe have a cheeseburg and a chocolate shake
Trade a few jokes, some anecdotes
A couple of laughs, and a couple of smokes

Afternoon's passin', it's ten to three,
Up comes a question on my TV screen
(Are ya goin' to the party?
Will ya take me to the party)

Back to the apartment, shave and a shower
Down a couple drinks, 'cause you got another hour
Get a little little loose, pick a change of clothes
Order up some pizza, anything goes
It's Friday night, you better take a cab
Down too many, you could end up on a slab
So have another drink 'cause you don't need to think
About breathalyzer tests or drivin' in the sink

"Take me to the party"
(Don't drink and drive)
"Take me to the party"
(That's my advice)

You've got to hey, turn it up
Rip it down and burn it up
And ho ho, shock the gang
You've got to hey, blow the door
Hit the walls and slap the floor
And oh ho, go out with a bang, bang

Bang, bang, bang

Bang!

You've got to hey, blow your cool
Roll around and break the rules
And ho ho, shock the gang
You've got to hey, be a brat
Stretch it thin and make it snap
And oh ho, go out with a bang, bang

You've got to hey, turn it up
Rip it down and burn it up
And ho ho, shock the gang
You've got to hey, blow the door
Hit the walls and slap the floor
And oh ho, go out with a bang

Blow your cool!
Break the rules!

Be a brat!
Make it snap!

Make it bang, bang!
Bang, bang!

    I first heard this song either in 1989 or 1990, while I was rolling tape during a local radio station's remote feed called "KEGL Live at Club 8"; I never knew who did this track until tonight, after finally researching the lyrics. Imagine having a song getting stuck in your head for over 30 years, not even knowing what it is: that's "Bang", by The Weathermen!
