It's nine o'clock in the Chinese take-away
|
And I blame the effect on the gamma ray, the gamma ray
|
Well, losing out on mah jong
|
I set my watch to Hong Kong
|
I blame it all on the gamma ray
|
I hear the triad has crossed the Tong
|
In Indianapolis, home of the gamma ray
|
The deadly gamma ray, the deadly gamma ray
|
|
And there ain't no guest list tonight at the Memorial Hall
|
Cher got in cos she's so thin
|
And even Evil Knievel tried to wheedle
|
No - the deadly gamma ray, the gamma ray
|
I blame it all on the gamma ray
|
Know why, you know why - the gamma ray
|
|
I hear there's entry only to those with green hair
|
In the next World's Fair because of the gamma ray
|
Yeah, I hear there's panic buying of shampoo
|
And those little pots of goo
|
You know why, you know why all because of the gamma ray
|
|
When Alan McGhee went to Dundee
|
He caused all the rock groups to flee
|
Yeah, I read it in the N.M.E.
|
It was the gamma ray
|
|
The Chief Brigadier's head began to swell
|
Firing off depleted uranium shells
|
He bombarded everything pretty well
|
Except for the gamma ray
|
Blow it all away
|
|
And then the gamma ray seemed to say
|
If you carry twelve margaritas on a tray
|
You cannot be touched in anyway
|
By the benign, yet malevolent
|
Mark two chrome, gamma, gamma, gamma,
|
gamma, gamma, gamma, gamma, gamma ray
|
Gamma, gamma, gamma, gamma ray
|
|
So, let's go back to Indianapolis, oh, Indianapolis,
|
Yeah, Indianapolis, Indianapolis
|
Let's go back to Indianapolis
|
Because it's the home of the gamma ray
|
|
Sure, I'm gettin' on a train right now
|
I'm outta here
