The Fonz refers to Fonzie, a popular character portrayed by Henry Winkler on the show Happy Days. However, this song is not necessarily about Fonzie, it is about someone cool Steve is looking up to, so “The Fonz” is a complimentary term for this person he looks up to.
[Intro]
Alright, Houston, you're a go
[Verse 1]
I wanna try your shoes on
And wear them for a day
Learn to walk like you do
And see what I see
I'd talk like I knew something
That everyone wanted to hear
[Chorus]
But you're the Fonz (You're the Fonz)
But you're the Fonz (You're the Fonz)
[Verse 2]
The definition of icy
The measure of what's up
You could play the tuba
And everyone would clap
Well, I can play the tuba
And they'd all just shake their heads
[Chorus]
'Cause you're the Fonz (You're the Fonz)
'Cause you're the Fonz (You're the Fonz)
'Cause you're the Fonz (You're the Fonz)
'Cause you're the Fonz (You're the Fonz)
[Bridge]
I know it's over for me
I know it's over for me
I know it's over for me
I know it's over
[Verse 3]
I drove my car to the top floor
And stood at the edge
When I woke up in Heaven
Looked down and no one cared
But when you pulled your own trigger
They all gathered around to watch
[Chorus]
'Cause you're the Fonz (You're the Fonz)
'Cause you're the Fonz (You're the Fonz)
'Cause you're the Fonz (You're the Fonz)
'Cause you're the Fonz (You're the Fonz)
[Outro]
Because you are the Fonz (You're the Fonz)
Because you are the Fonz (You're the Fonz)
Because you are the Fonz (You're the Fonz)
Because you are the Fonz (You're the Fonz)
Because you are
