Do-do, do-do, do-do, do-do, do...

You say you wanna take me down to Puerto Rico
Crowded Puerto Rico
Humid Puerto Rico
You say you wanna take me up to the mountains
The boring mountains
You say you wanna take me out to Las Vegas
Viva! Viva Las Vegas

I heard it
I did it
I got the bill

I lived it
I paid it
Paying still

Compliments and promises can't fool me twice
Spreading lies like that around isn't very nice

Do-do, do-do, do-do, do-do, do...

You say I'm so fascinating like no one else you know
No one else you know?
Your wife should know
You say you wanna put me on some TV show
The Johnny Carson show?
Come on, let's go!
You say you wanna buy me leather coats and cars
Make me a star, take a trip to Mars

I did it
I got it
I got the jewel

I made it
I paid it
And I'm no fool

Compliments and promises can't fool me twice
You're such a low-life schemer
Beat it creep, dematerialize

Beat it creep
Dematerialize

Blondie is an American rock band founded by singer Deborah Harry and guitarist Chris Stein. The band was a pioneer in the early American new wave and punk scenes of the mid-1970s. Their first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next three years, the band achieved several hit singles including “Call Me”, “Atomic” and “Heart of Glass” and became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco, pop, rap, and reggae, while retaining a basic style as a new wave band.
