Dum Dum Boys

What happened to Zeke?
He's dead on jones, man
How about Dave?
OD'd on alcohol
Well what's Rock doing?
Oh, 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
The 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 saw
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-da
Dum dum day
Where are you now
My dum dum boys
Are you alive or dead
Have you left me the last
Of the dum dum daze
Then the sun goes down
And the boys broke down
People said we were negative
They said we'd take but
We would never give
But we'd sing
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Dum dum day
Da-da-da-da-da dum
And hope it would pay
Da-da-da-da it's been
A dumdumdumdum day
A dum dum day
Now I'm looking for
The dum dum boys
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
