Ya Hozna Lyrics

[Backwards:]

I am the heaven
I am the water
Ich bin deine Ritze
Ich bin deine Ritze und Schlitze
I am the clouds
Ich bin der Chrome Dinette
Ich bin Eier aller Arten
Ich bin alle Tage und Nächte
Ich bin alle Tage und Nächte
(AIEE-AH!)
I am embroidered
Ich bin der Dreck unter deinen Walzen
(Oh no, whip it on me, honey!)
(AIEE-AH!)
(AIEE-AH!)
Ich bin hier (AIEE-AH!)
Ich bin der Autor aller Felgen
Und Damast Paspeln
Ich bin der Chrome Dinette

You're a lonely little girl
But your Mommy & your Daddy don't care

Ich bin hier (AIEE-AH!)
Und du bist mein Sofa

You're a lonely little girl

Ich bin hier
Und du bist mein Sofa
Yeah-ha-ha-ay
Yah-ha
Yeah, my Sofa
Yeah-ha-hey

Moon:
I'm like reach
I'm like squat
I'm like roll
Repeat
Like roll over
Like thrust
Okay, like pull
Like push
I'm like . . .
Okay, like . . . blow
I'm blow

Ich bin dein geheimer Schmutz
Und verlorenes Metallgeld
(Metallgeld)
(AIEE-AH!)
Und du bist mein Sofa
Ich bin hier (AIEE-AH!)

Moon:
You're never too old
Like blow
I'm like blow
I'm like blow
Okay, like . . .

Ich bin hier
Und du bist mein Sofa
Yeah-ha-ha-ay
Yah-ha
Yeah, my Sofa
Yeah-ha-hey

Moon:
Hey, alright, faster, faster
Go, do it, do it, right, YEAAH
I'm feelin' good
'N I'm lookin' great
Yeah, fer sure
Like NO WAY

Ich bin hier
Und du bist mein Sofa
Yeah-ha-ha-ay
Yah-ha
Yeah, my Sofa
Yeah-ha-hey
Ich bin hier
Und du bist mein Sofa
Yeah-ha-ha-ay
Yah-ha
Yeah, my Sofa
Yeah-ha-hey

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Frank put together “Ya Hozna” at a time when controversy over rock music lyrics was coming to a head (this would culminate in the Parents Music Resource Center hearing in September 1985.) Frank reversed the lyrics of “Sofa No. 2,” a couple of lines from “Lonely Little Girl” and his daughter, Moon, ad-libbing a Valley Girl exercise routine, and set them against an endless guitar loop in order to show how meaningless rock lyrics could really be.

A bit of worthless trivia: Anyone who is wondering where Frank came up with the nonsensical title “Ya Hozna” should reverse Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want To Have Fun,” and give it a listen.
