[Intro]
(As wild as wild can be)
Yak yak ak ak ak ak aow
Oooh gi gi gi ga

[Verse 1]
Take a walk in the warm New England sun
Ain't no time to look for clues
You get the point of Uncle Sam's loaded gun
Who be the one to light the fuse
Take a look, take a look at my old billy goat
He used to raise all kinds of hell
He took a dose of radiation dope
A back in the barn is where he felt, like hell

[Chorus]
Aar...Lucy, a superdome
Lucy, gimmie the dope

[Bridge]
(What make you think that you could do all the miles you can) ?
After you drive in my car, car
What you going to do when your oil's Mexican
OPEC boys, you went too far, too far

[Chorus]
Aar...Lucy, superdome
Lucy, Coke-a-tome
Aar...Lucy, kill me John
Lucy, sing a song

[Bridge]
(Ah), dig it up
(Ah), live it up[x2]
(Ah), give it up, up ,up

Look out!

[Verse 2]
I got a reefer headed woman
She fell right down from the sky
Well, I got a reefer headed woman
She, she fell right down from the sky

[Outro]
Oh, I got to to drink me two fifths of whiskey
Just to get, just to get, half as high

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
