[Intro]
Hey, ho, let's go
Hey, ho, let's go
Hey, ho, let's go
Hey, ho, let's go
[Verse]
They're formin' in a straight line
They're goin' through a tight one
The kids are losin' their minds
The Blitzkrieg Bop
They're pilin' in the back seat
They're generatin' steam heat
Pulsatin' to the back beat
The Blitzkrieg Bop
[Chorus]
Hey, ho, let's go
Shoot 'em in the back now
What they want, I don't know
They're all revved up and ready to go
[Verse]
They're formin' in a straight line
They're goin' through a tight wind
The kids are losin' their minds
The Blitzkrieg Bop
They're pilin' in the back seat
They're generatin' steam heat
Pulsatin' to the back beat
The Blitzkrieg Bop
[Chorus]
Hey, ho, let's go
Shoot 'em in the back now
What they want, I don't know
They're all revved up and ready to go
[Verse]
They're formin' in a straight line
They're goin' through a tight wind
The kids are losin' their minds
The Blitzkrieg Bop
They're pilin' in the back seat
They're generatin' steam heat
Pulsatin' to the back beat
The Blitzkrieg Bop
[Outro]
Hey, ho, let's go
Hey, ho, let's go
Hey, ho, let's go
Hey, ho, let's go

Joey Ramone said,
I hate to blow the mystique, but we really liked bubblegum music, and we really liked the Bay City Rollers. Their song “Saturday Night” had a great chant in it, so we wanted a song with a chant in it … “Blitzkrieg Bop” was our “Saturday Night.”
