Hey, hey, walk on, hey, hey
Big plans, big time, everything
Downtown pawn shop, bought us a ring
Heading for the top, top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Hey, hey
Top, top, top of the pops
Two time, two-ton hangover king
The bride wore black, we were ready to swing
Too far gone to stop, top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Hey, hey, hey
Top, top, top of the pops
Top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Hey, hey
Top, top, top of the pops
You told me baby, you had time to kill
But then you tossed me out like an overdue bill
You left in a hurry with a guy from a band
On a one way ride to the promised land, top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Hey, hey
Top, top, top of the pops
Walk on
You told me baby, you were gone for good
But here you are right back in the old neighborhood
You stood in a lobby with a ticket in hand
For a one-way ride to the promised land, top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Hey, hey
Top, top, top of the pops
Second-hand wedding band, throw it away
Big plans, big time, got in the way
Now, we're on the top, top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Hey, hey
Top, top, top of the pops
Top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Hey, hey, hey
Top, top, top of the pops
Walk on
Top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Hey, hey
Top, top, top of the pops
Top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Hey, hey, hey
Top, top, top of the pops
Walk on
Top, top, top of the pops
Hey, hey, hey
Top, top, top of the pops
Top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Hey, hey
Top, top, top of the pops
Top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Hey, hey, hey
Top, top, top of the pops
Walk on
Top, top, top of the pops
Top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Hey, hey, hey
Top, top, top of the pops
Top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Hey, yeah
Top, top, top of the pops
Walk on
Top, top, top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
