You were gonna do something about those kids hanging round Thought you were gonna round em up, hound them out of town But they’re still hanging around, and they’re getting worse Could be time to engage, the mosquito

Not strictly legit, the parents won’t hear it So long as it does the job If we turn it up loud, they will learn to fear it We can make their ears throb And we won’t hear it

Or what about playing some classical stuff Something they will really hate Or improvised jazz, played off the cuff Something they will never relate to, yeah!

You were gonna do something about them But they’re still hanging round One more day, then we’ll try it my way Let’s get this project off the ground

Oh let’s get it off the ground Get it off the ground See what happens
