Lyrics for In the Sticks

Shh, here they come Now Louie, Louie had his day Nothin' gonna change it now The rats and snakes will never fade away Not while I'm alive Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! There come the cossacks The road spiders The super gliders Burnin' trash, flickin' class, all the white trash, yeah! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Now Louie Louie had his time Seemed like only yesterday Sandy and Harry got married and moved away 'Cause they had nothin' left to say, yeah! You with the glasses, I'll see you later We'll find love I know Rockin', reelin', double dealin' One more time this time with feelin', yeah! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Go boys, yeah! You move so fine Yeah what a scene I said Mmm, kinda aquiline Yeah baby saw through this now You smell so good Yeah, and your shirt's always pressed You'll be the best inside my baby Yeah, we're all under arrest now! Louie, Louie made his mark On this tender heart of mine The Jamaican moon don't let it get dark Though we rock out in the night time Let's get on outta here now, let's go!
