R.A.M.O.N.E.S. Lyrics
New York City, N.Y.C.,
Pretty mean when it wants to be,
Black leather, knee-hole pants,
Can't play no high-school dance,
Fuzz tone, hear'em go, hear'em on the radio,
Chorus
Misfits, twilight zone,
R-A-M-O-N-E-S, R-A-M-O-N-E-S
RAMONES,
Bad boy rock, bad boy roll,
Gabba gabba, see them go,
C. Jay now hit the gas,
Mark takes it up the ass,
Go Johnny, go, go, go, go Tommy o-way-o,
(Chorus)
Bad boys then, bad boys now,
Good buddies, mau, mau, mau,
Keep it up, rock'n'roll, good music save your soul,
Dee Dee, he left home,
Joey call me on the phone.
(Chorus)
Pretty mean when it wants to be,
Black leather, knee-hole pants,
Can't play no high-school dance,

Misfits, twilight zone,

RAMONES,
Gabba gabba, see them go,
C. Jay now hit the gas,
Mark takes it up the ass,
Go Johnny, go, go, go, go Tommy o-way-o,
Good buddies, mau, mau, mau,
Keep it up, rock'n'roll, good music save your soul,
Dee Dee, he left home,
Joey call me on the phone.

anyone heard this live by motorhead
fucking awesome
Heard it my Mötorhead first too, then I was really stoked when the Ramones covered a song about themselves. Excellent!!

The expression "Marky takes it up the ass" could mean 2 things:-
"Marky takes it up the ass"???
wtf dude, you suck
it's really "Hear marky kick some ass"
actually R-A-M-O-N-E-S it clearly says "Hear marky kicks some ass"
this is a great song. it was written by Lemmy from motorhead, which is crazy.
ok actually theres 2 versions of the song.
The one C.J. sings it says "Mark takes it up the ass" and the one Joey sings it says "Hear Marky Kicks some ass" that should clear it up.
Forget about Marky taking it up the ass...Sheesh! It is a tribute from Motorhead to the Ramones. Both bands played loud, hard, energetic. Lemmy was showing his respect to the band.
If you listen to "we're outa here" it does say "take it up the ass"
Its just the guys fucking around live. Don't read anything into it. They don't.
I love this one :D But ... isn't it "Dee-Dee where he wants to be" not "Pretty mean when it wants to be"? It'd make more sense that way.
