Alright, yeah, alright
Take a tip from me and get ready for the big parade
It's the place to be every night's a happy holiday
The kids are jumping around, everybody's doing loop de loop
Just a making the rounds like a speed freak in a telephone booth
The downstairs is packed and the groupies are all dressed up
Upstairs the New York Dolls are kickin' it out looking tough
You've got a personality crisis baby
Down at Max's
All the boys are
All the girls are
All the kids are
Down at Max's
I see Patti Smith she's the Stagger Lee of rock 'n' roll
She threw a?????? and a????? and she always????? to hold????? to hold
There's Lou Reed and Iggy Pop they're getting higher and higher
Give them boys one more drink they're gonna set the place on fire
Go get 'em boys
The downstairs is packed and the groupies are all dressed up
Upstairs the New York Dolls are kickin' it out looking tough
Bad girls - just a lookin' for a kiss
Down at Max's
All the boys are
All the girls are
All the kids are
Down at Max's
Blondie's all in a buzz she's on the cover of the New York rocker
Dee Dee Ramone strips his bass to the bone,
He's a blitzkrieg, blitzkrieg, blitzkrieg bopper
The Heartbreakers they're gonna give you a taste
Of going steady with Pirate Love
And you better watch 'em cos the Electric Chairs
Are gonna fry your brain
Get 'em hot boys
The downstairs is packed and the groupies are all messed up
Upstairs the New York Dolls are kickin' it out looking tough
Trash, pick it up, you know where, that's right baby
Down at Max's
All the boys are
All the girls are
All the kids are
Down at Max's
