1988
It's 1988, and the Dead Milkmen have released this timeless classic like a little capsule, launched into the world to be unleashed on my poor brain where it runs over and over and over.
On the positive side, you can still get the nifty paper doll here.
Punk Rock Girl
performed by the Dead Milkmen
from the album Beelzebubba
�One Saturday I took a walk to Zipperhead
I met a girl there and she almost knocked me dead -
(Punk Rock Girl) please look at me,
(Punk Rock Girl) what do you see?
Let's travel round the world
just you and me, punk rock girl ...
�I tapped her on the shoulder and said "do you have a beau?"
She looked at me and smiled and said she did not know
(Punk Rock Girl) give me a chance,
(Punk Rock Girl) let's go slam dance
We'll dress like Minnie Pearl,
just you and me, punk rock girl ...
�We went to the Philly Pizza Company
and ordered some hot tea
The waitress said "well no; we only have it iced"
So we jumped up on the table and shouted anarchy
and someone played a Beach Boys song on the jukebox
It was "California Dreamin",
so we started screamin',
on such a winter's day ...
�She took me to her parents' for a Sunday meal
Her father took one look at me and he began to squeal
(Punk Rock Girl) it makes no sense,
(Punk Rock Girl) your dad is a vice president
rich as the duke of Earl;
Yeah you're for me, punk rock girl ...
�We went to a shoppin' mall
and laughed at all the shoppers
and security guards trailed us to a record shop
We asked for Mojo Nixon;
they said "he don't work here"
We said if you don't got Mojo Nixon
then your store could use some fixin' ...
�We got into a car away we started rollin'
I said "how much ya pay for this?"
She said "nothing man, it's stolen"
(Punk Rock Girl) you look so wild;
(Punk Rock Girl) let's have a child;
We'll name her Minnie Pearl,
just you and me (Eat fudge banana swirl)
just you and me (We'll travel round the world)
just you and me, Punk Rock Girl ...
