Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Five names that I can hardly stand to hear
Including yours and mine, and one more chimp who isn't here
I can see the ladies talkin', how the times are gettin' hard
And that fearsome excavation on Magnolia Boulevard
[Verse 2]
Yes, I'm going insane
And I'm laughin' at the frozen rain
Well, I'm so alone
Honey, when they gonna send me home?
[Verse 3]
Bad sneakers and a piña colada, my friend
Stompin' on the avenue by Radio City with a
Transistor and a large sum of money to spend
[Verse 4]
You fella, you tearin' up the street
You wear that white tuxedo, how you gonna beat the heat?
Do you take me for a fool? Do you think that I don't see?
That ditch out in the valley that they're diggin' just for me
[Verse 5]
Yes, I'm (Goin' insane)
You know I'm laughin' at the frozen rain
I feel like I'm so alone
Honey, when they gonna send me home?
[Verse 6]
Bad sneakers and a piña colada, my friend
Stompin' on the avenue by Radio City with a
Transistor and a large sum of money to spend
[Verse 7]
You know I'm going insane (Goin' insane)
Yes, I'm laughin' at the frozen rain
And I'm so alone
Honey, when they gonna send me home?
[Verse 8]
Bad sneakers and a piña colada, my friend
Stompin' on the avenue by Radio City with a
Transistor and a large sum of money to spend
