Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Have you heard about the boom on Mizar Five?
People got to shout to stay alive
They don't even have policeman one
Doesn't matter where you been, or what you've done
Do you have a dark spot on your past?
Leave it to my man, he'll fix it fast
Pepe has a scar from ear to ear
He will make your mug shots disappear
[Chorus]
You zombie
Be born again, my friend
Won't you sign in, stranger?
[Verse 2]
Do you like to take a yo-yo for a ride?
Zombie, I can see you're qualified
Walk around collecting Turkish union dues
They will call you "Sir" and shine your shoes
Or maybe you would like to see the show
You'll enjoy the Cafe D'Escargot
Folks are in a line around the block
Just to see her do the can-can-Jacques
[Chorus]
You zombie
Be born again, my friend
Won't you sign in, stranger?
[Bridge]
Love or leave her, yellow fever
Sure, it's all in the game
And who are you?
Just another scurvy brother
[Chorus]
You zombie
Be born again, my friend
Won't you sign in, stranger?
