Lyrics:

Yeah!
A rockin' green amp, said the neighbours next door
Never been done, nothing like this before
Back in the days, I was full of rage
With that steel edge side on a razor blade

Splish splash I was taking a shave
On a Monday morning, when my head was [?]
I got the small amp from a radio store
I slashed and I slit and I made it roar
In the summertime when the living was not so easy
Fell in love with a girl named Sue
Gonna have my baby, but my parents got crazy

I missed you
I needed you
I loved you so
I wanted you
I loved you
Why did they say no?

The little green amp, the neighbours next door
Knock on the walls, they're banging on the door
Can you hear that racket? Well I just can't sleep
Won't ya turn that down? But they run and they run[?]

The little green amp (the little green amp)
The little green amp, the neighbours next door
Knock on the walls, they're banging on the door
Can you stop that racket? Well the kids can't sleep
Oh, turn it down

The little green amp
The little green amp, the neighbours next door
Knock on the walls, they're banging on my door
Can you hear that racket? Well I just can't sleep
Well turn it down
The little green amp

I'm raising the roof, and they're raising the rent
The razor blade that cut my speaker to shreds
Well they took my baby, I can never forget
I felt like lifting the lid, raising the dead
In the summertime, when the living was not so easy
Two up, two down, park in the back
[?]

I missed you
I wanted you
I loved you so
I needed you
I wanted you
Why did they say no?

Green amp, the neighbours next door
Never been done, nothing like this before
Green amp, you really got me that time
Nah, nah, nah, nah
