Hey Punk, where you goin' with that
flower in your hand?
Hey Punk, where you goin' with that

Well, I'm goin' up to Frisco to join a
psychedelic band.

Hey Punk, where you goin' with that
button on your shirt?
Hey Punk, where you goin' with that
button on your shirt?
I'm goin' to the love-in to sit & play
my bongos in the dirt.
Yes, I'm goin' to the love-in to sit & play
my bongos in the dirt.
Hey Punk, where you goin' with that
hair on your head?
Hey Punk, where you goin' with that

I'm goin' to the dance to get some action,
then I'm goin' home to bed.

I'm goin' to the shrink so he can help me

(Just at this moment, the 2700
microgram dose of STP ingested by
FLOWER PUNK shortly before the
song began TAKES EFFECT: before
your very ears his head blows up...
leaving a bizarre audial residue all over
your teen-age record player!)
Hey Punk! Hey Punk! Hey Punk!
Punky! Punk! Hey Punk! Punky!
Come and go...come and go...
Polly, do I ever have a lot of soul?
I think I love you!
Questi dominga?
Have you seen that nose eating?
I wanna know for sure!
Leave my nose alone please!
What 're you trying to do?
Listen! ...
This is one of the most
exciting things that's ever
happened to me
You know, every time I think
about how lucky I am to be in
the rock & roll industry
It's SO exciting
You know, when I first got into
the rock & roll business
I could barely even play the
changes to this song on my, on
my guitar
But now I'm very professional
I can play the guitar
I can strum it rhythmically
I can sing along with my guitar
as I strum
I can strum, sing, dance,
I can make merry fun all over
the stage
And you know, it's so wonderful
to...
It's wonderful to feel that I'm
doing something for the kids
Because I know that the kids
and their music are where it's
at
The youth of America today is
so wonderful
And I'm proud to be a part of
this gigantic mass deception
I hope she sees me thrilling,
yes...
I hope she sees me dancing and
thrilling
I will say: "Hello Dolly!"
Is the song over?
Boy, this is really exciting,
making a rock & roll record
I can't even wait until our
record comes out and teen-agers
start to buy it
We'll all be rich and famous!
And when my royalty check comes
I think I'm going to buy a
Mustang
No, I think I'll...I think I'll
get a Corvette
No, I think I'll get a Harley
Davidson
No, I don't think I'll buy any
of those cars
I think what I will do is I
will buy both
No, I don't do that either
I think, ah, I'll go into real
estate
I think I'd like to...
I think I'd like to buy a house
in ... Boulevard
No, that wouldn't do any good
Gee, I wonder if they can see
me up here, twirling that
tambourine and dancing...
Maybe after the show
One of the girls who sees me up
here, singing and thrilling my
tambourine and dancing, will
like me
And she will come over to me
And I will walk
I will walk up to her and I
will smile at her
And I will impress her and I
will say: "Hello, baby,
What's a girl like you doing in
a place like this?
I'm from a rock & roll band,
I think we should..."
Is the song over?
