[Verse 1] a ah ahhhh ye ye yeeee a ah ahhhh ye ye hiuuuuu( hayeeee) We stole a van from a fellow named Ray It coughed blue smoke but it got us away Four cheap suits and a borrowed amp A torn-up map and a boot-stomp tramp You said, “No sleep till the room caves in” I heard that spark underneath your grin [Pre-Chorus] a ah ahhhh ye ye yeeee a ah ahhhh ye ye hiuuuuu( hayeeee) Clap your hands, let the ceiling rise Count us in with your hungry eyes One more step, and the whole thing starts Hear that thunder in our reckless hearts [Chorus] Hey now, here we come, oh-oh! Turn it up till the red lights glow Hey now, sing it loud, yeah-yeah! We’re the maddest little band in town Hey now, here we come, oh-oh! Ain’t nobody gonna shut us down a ah ahhhh ye ye yeeee a ah ahhhh ye ye hiuuuuu( hayeeee) a ah ahhhh ye ye yeeee a ah ahhhh ye ye hiuuuuu( hayeeee) [Verse 2] The club door man said, “You’re much too young” You flashed your grin and bit your tongue Then the first chord cracked like a railway gun By the second bar, the night had begun A girl in boots climbed onto a chair And threw her scarf through the smoky air [Pre-Chorus] Clap your hands, let the ceiling rise Count us in with your hungry eyes One more step, and the whole thing starts Hear that thunder in our reckless hearts a ah ahhhh ye ye yeeee a ah ahhhh ye ye hiuuuuu( hayeeee) [Chorus] Hey now, here we come, oh-oh! Turn it up till the red lights glow Hey now, sing it loud, yeah-yeah! We’re the maddest little band in town Hey now, here we come, oh-oh! Ain’t nobody gonna shut us down a ah ahhhh ye ye yeeee a ah ahhhh ye ye hiuuuuu( hayeeee) a ah ahhhh ye ye yeeee a ah ahhhh ye ye hiuuuuu( hayeeee) [Bridge] If the strings break, we’ll shout the part If the lights fail, we’ll play in the dark If the roof shakes loose, let it fall We didn’t come here to whisper at all [Final Chorus] Hey now, here we come, oh-oh! Turn it up till the red lights glow Hey now, sing it loud, yeah-yeah! We’re the maddest little band in town Hey now, here we come, oh-oh! Ain’t nobody gonna shut us down Hey now, one more time, oh-oh! We’re still standing when the last bells sound [Outro] No tidy ending, no quiet goodbye Just four wild hearts and a van rolling by a ah ahhhh ye ye yeeee a ah ahhhh ye ye hiuuuuu( hayeeee) a ah ahhhh ye ye yeeee a ah ahhhh ye ye hiuuuuu( hayeeee)
