It started out when the boys hooked up in high school
They made it real with a drunken weekend jam
Didn't take long til the boys got good
Shakin it and wakin up the neighborhood
The newest, hippest, rockinest garage band
But when they hit the road to L.A.
They didn't know the dues you pay
When somebody ask who are they
This is what the boys would say
We're the leanest, and the meanest,
We're on our way to L.A.
We're the latest, and the greatest,
We're gonna blow 'em away
When we're up on stage, it's the latest craze
So all the girls say
We're the leanest, meanest, rock machinist in the U.S.A.
Been so long since the boys been gone away
Haven't heard a word and I wonder every day
But when I turned on the radio
I could name that tune in just one note
Close my eyes and I could hear them say
We're the leanest, and the meanest,
We're on our way to L.A.
We're the latest, and the greatest,
We're gonna blow 'em away
When we're up on stage, it's the latest craze
So all the girls say
We're the leanest, meanest, rock machinist in the U.S.A.
