Hey Johnny, hey Dee Dee
Little Tom and Joey
You know we're comin' over
Sweet sweet little Ramona
You're getting better and better
It's getting easier than ever
Hey you kids in the crowd
You know you like it
When the music's loud.
Sweet sweet little Ramona
She always wants to come over
Sweet sweet little Ramona
I think I'll try and phone her
I let her in if you're wondering why
Cause she's a spy for the BBI
I let her in and I started to cry
And then I knew I wanted to die
Oooh, little Ramona.
"Ramona," written by the entire band, is a love song that was originally titled "Rocket to Russia." The band rewrote the lyrics to the song and used the title for the album title.
Someone please enlighten me: What is the BBI? Some kind of actual group, or made up, or what?

It is the British Bureau of Intelligence, like FBI here in the states. Yeah, she wants to come over. Did he fall in love with a spy? Punk Hamlet?

I love this song. This is one of my favorite Ramone songs ever!!!!!!!
This song was written about Ramona Jan, punk rocker from the 80s, that started the band Comateens. She later moved on to become a recording engineer at Mediasound Studios and is now battling cervical cancer and writing articles for the Sullivan County Democrat newspaper.
Ramona is written on the t-shirt of the punk on the rocket, on the album cover (the relative of Zippy the pinhead). Why is this the title song of the album? The center of the song is minimalist love poetry. He let her in and one might wonder why, since she is a spy. This caused the beginning of his sorrows, and left him suicidal.
One wishes to see the lyrics before the title of the song was changed from "rocket to Russia." Why is this the rocket to Russia?
@mmcdonald What wad rated this comment down? Some punk who knows why this song is the Rocket to Russia? The routine use of Love in spying is a heinous, psych-op sin, violating the most fundamental right. Some wad who knows who his love is? O one who has no soul to worry over?

@mmcdonald ...Or maybe some spy-chick who makes her way twisting the souls of new poets for a government that has none. I want to see one "Confidential informant" prostitute ever held accountable, one soulless spy chick and her Himmler boss sweat it out on the stand describing everything they did for the fatherland, one, once.

I don't know why. It's one of their worst (and I've heard all of Halfway to Sanity)
@87th So wrong, this is one of their best. You've probably never even listened to this album. Idiot.
