Dum Dum Boys
What happened to Zeke?
He's dead on Jones, man
How about Dave?
OD'd on alcohol
Oh, what's Rock doing?
Ah, he's living with his mother
What about James?
He's gone straight
Well, things have been tough without The Dum Dum Boys
I can't seem to speak their language
I remember how they used to stare at the ground
They looked as if they put the whole world
Looked as if they put the whole world down
The first time I met The Dum Dum Boys
I was fascinated
They just stood in front of the old drug store
I was most impressed
No one else was impressed, not at all
And we'd sing
Da-da-da-da-da, dum-dum-dee
Well, where are now my Dum Dum Boys?
Hey, are you alive or dead?
Have you left me the last of the Dum Dum daze?
And then the sun goes down
And then the boys broke down
People said we were negative
They said we would take but we would never give
But we'd sing
Da-da-da-da-da, dum-dum-dee
We'd sing
Da-da-da-da-da, and we hoped it would pay
We'd sing
Da-da-da-da, It's been a glorious Dum Dum day
Dum-dum-day
Well, now I'm looking for The Dum Dum Boys
Hey, where are you now when I need your noise?
Now I'm looking for The Dum Dum Boys
The walls close in and I need some noise
He's dead on Jones, man
How about Dave?
OD'd on alcohol
Oh, what's Rock doing?
Ah, he's living with his mother
What about James?
He's gone straight
Well, things have been tough without The Dum Dum Boys
I can't seem to speak their language
I remember how they used to stare at the ground
They looked as if they put the whole world
Looked as if they put the whole world down
The first time I met The Dum Dum Boys
I was fascinated
They just stood in front of the old drug store
I was most impressed
No one else was impressed, not at all
And we'd sing
Da-da-da-da-da, dum-dum-dee
Well, where are now my Dum Dum Boys?
Hey, are you alive or dead?
Have you left me the last of the Dum Dum daze?
And then the sun goes down
And then the boys broke down
People said we were negative
They said we would take but we would never give
But we'd sing
Da-da-da-da-da, dum-dum-dee
We'd sing
Da-da-da-da-da, and we hoped it would pay
We'd sing
Da-da-da-da, It's been a glorious Dum Dum day
Dum-dum-day
Well, now I'm looking for The Dum Dum Boys
Hey, where are you now when I need your noise?
Now I'm looking for The Dum Dum Boys
The walls close in and I need some noise
