Songwriter: Bob Ezrin Tommy Henriksen Wayne Kramer Alice Cooper

Producer: Bob Ezrin

I just got out of jail (go man go)
Stole  me a Hellcat (go man go)
Pickin'  up my baby (go man go)
She works at the Gay Bar (go man go)

She knows that I'm the man (go man go)
She  knows that I'm a moron (go man go)
And  I ain't got no plan (go man go)
But that's ok (go man go)
(Go  man go)
She don't care anyway (go man go)

We ride into the night
And everything's all right
I  try to take it slow
But she yells "Go man go"

They call me the Hamtramck Hammer (go man go)
She's just Crazy Jane (go man go)
Don't care about tomorrow (go man go)
And she don't know when to stop (go man go)
(Go man go)
That's when we blew past the cop (go man go)

We ride into the night
And everything's all right
I try to take it slow
But she yells "Go man go"

We flew past the cruiser (go man go)
He lit up like a Christmas tree (go man go)
I sure ain't gonna stop (go man go)
She laughs and kisses me (go man go)

We ride into the night
The train comes into sight
Do we make it? I don't know
Should I slam on the brakes
Or step on the gas?
And she says "Go man go"

Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper is the stage name and ‘fun villain’ character of Vincent Furnier. Cooper became the target of parents and ministers for his dark lyrics and gory theatrical performances that earned him the title Godfather of Shock Rock. Despite once claiming the name was conjured from a ouija board that told him he’s the reincarnation of a 17th century witch, Cooper laughs the topic off with flippant answers like “It was either a Scrabble board or a bowl of alphabet soup” and “I didn’t want a name like Iron Butterfly or Black Sabbath. I wanted it to be something your aunt might be called.”

The band Alice Cooper was originally signed by Frank Zappa to his own record label. Their first notoriety came when Cooper tossed a wayward chicken (possibly arranged by long-time manager Shep Gordon) into the crowd, who then tore it apart at the 1969 Toronto Rock ‘n’ Roll Revival Festival. Newspapers claimed he’d bit the bird’s head off and drank its blood. Zappa advised them to not deny the story and Cooper used it as inspiration to make his character darker.

The band’s teaming with producer Bob Ezrin for their third album Love It To Death led to their US breakthrough with a top 30 hit “I’m Eighteen” in early 1971. By then, the band was already infamous for their stage show, which had escalated into simulated torture and executions. That same year, Killer was released with its two singles “Under My Wheels” and “Be My Lover” finding moderate US success, and both albums being certified gold the following year.
