[Intro]
Ba ba ba, ba ba sha-doo be-doo
Ba ba ba, ba ba sha-doo
[Verse 1]
Guess we're all in trouble, huh?
Black clouds are upon us
It's doomsday on the other side of town
That boy survived a severed head
When most would just give up for dead
So I said: "Albee, don't get so upset
We all get scared of sticking out our necks
It's expected!
[Pre-Chorus]
So panic
(Ba ba ba, ba ba sha-doo be-doo)
So panic
(Ba ba ba, ba ba sha-doo)
[Chorus]
(C'mon, c'mon)
It's time to lose control!
(C'mon, c'mon)
Turn off your radio!
(C'mon, c'mon)
You're gonna feel alright!
(C'mon, cmon)
Let's do the panic tonight!
[Post-Chorus]
Ba ba ba, ba ba sha-doo be-doo
Ba ba ba, ba ba sha-doo
[Verse 2]
This place is turning upside down
And shaking all of our change out
And Charlotte's tossing her hair to the hounds
But it's her head they want on the wall
Right next to the screeching owl
I don't like this party or the sound
Of people walking 'cross you when you're down
And that's it!
[Pre-Chorus]
So panic
(Ba ba ba, ba ba sha-doo be-doo)
It's satanic
(Ba ba ba, ba ba sha-doo)
[Chorus]
(C'mon, c'mon)
It's time to lose control!
(C'mon, c'mon)
Turn off your radio!
(C'mon, c'mon)
Yeah, you can bring your friends!
(C'mon, cmon)
So we all do the panic again!
[Bridge]
Put your left foot in!
Now put your other left foot in!
Are you having trouble getting it down?
[Pre-Chorus]
Ba ba ba, ba ba sha-doo be-doo
Ba ba ba, ba ba sha-doo
[Chorus]
(C'mon, c'mon)
It's time to lose control!
(C'mon, c'mon)
Turn off your radio!
(C'mon, c'mon)
You're gonna feel all right!
(C'mon, cmon)
Let's do the panic tonight!
(C'mon, c'mon)
It's time to lose control!
(C'mon, c'mon)
Turn off your radio!
(C'mon, c'mon)
Yeah, you can bring your friends!
(C'mon, cmon)
So we all do the panic again!
[Outro]
Ba ba sha-doo be doo
Ba ba ba, ba ba sha-doo
Well, come on
Ba ba ba, ba ba sha-doo be doo
Ba ba ba, ba ba sha-doo
