[Verse 1]
Sun goes down, I rise
Red hair flames so bright
Passion breaks the night
Steal into her mind
Walk without a sound
Fire in the mountains now
Wow!

[Chorus]
If you wanna rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub
If you wanna rub-a-dub, dub love
Love calling (love calling), love calling (love calling)
If you wanna rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub
If you wanna rub-a-dub, dub love
Love calling (love calling)

[Post-Chorus]
So, baby, rock on
Clap hands, clap hands
For the song man
Rock on, rock on
Ooo, baby, rock on
Clap hands, clap hands
For the song man
Rock on, rock on

[Verse 2]
Song man dreams for you
Moves his clapping sticks
Turns us into snakes
Hot hits
And the blue moon move, move, move
Move until we die
Move until she cries
Wow!

[Chorus]
If you wanna rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub
If you wanna rub-a-dub, dub love
Love calling (love calling), love calling (love calling)
If you wanna rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub
If you wanna rub-a-dub, dub love
Love calling (love calling)
Oo, baby, rock on

Wow!
If you wanna rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub
If you wanna rub-a-dub, dub love
Love calling (love calling), love calling (love calling)
If you wanna rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub
If you wanna rub-a-dub, dub love
Love calling (love calling)

[Post-Chorus]
Wooo, baby, rock on
Clap hands, clap hands
For the song man
Rock on, rock on
Wooo, baby, rock on
Clap hands, clap hands
For the song man
Rock on, rock on
Wooo, baby, rock on
Clap hands, clap hands
For the song man
Rock on, rock on
Wooo, baby, rock on

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
