[Intro]
Wooh!
Wooh!
Wooh!
All right!

[Verse 1]
I wanna be your teacher in the team
Get to come in naked, 'cause it's clean
I wanna be your maker with the seam
Just take a shaker, make it mean

[Chorus 1]
I won't get over the damn
'Cause it's just like that old mile
Every four o' clock in the morning
I think I'm gonna die
Check, I'll hold you
I wish it was you

[Verse 2]
Gotta get a cat up a CK, 'cause that's where we're at
Gotta give a car The Beatles 'cause they're just sad

[Chorus 2]
But I won't get over it now
'Cause it's half-drawn on the shout
It could be four o' clock in the morning
If you wish it'd got no style
I gotta shit out like I was never
On the fallest town to be
I could wish this way forever
But I ever gonna be clean

[Bridge]
No, I can't get shot, albeit, no!
I can't get shot, albeit, no!
I can't get shot!
Wooh!

[Verse 3]
Wanna grow to keep it in June
Gonna make it easy for you
Wanna be the carrier in the coal
Just get this on with everything the kids enjoy

[Chorus 3]
But I won't get over it soon
'Cause there ain't light at full noon
'Cause at four o' clock in the morning
I got cheering up to do
If not, you get a real shot
It's just like walls I never drived

[Outro]
But I go: "Wooh!"
I just go: "Wooh!"
We all go: "Wooh!"
Yeah!
We all go: "Wooh!"
All right!

Gorillaz is a virtual band created by Damon Albarn of Britpop band Blur and Jamie Hewlett, co-creator of the comic book Tank Girl. The band is composed of four animated band Stuart “2D” Pot (vocals, keyboard), Murdoc Niccals (bass), Noodle (lead guitar and occasional vocals), and Russel Hobbs (drums and percussion). Murdoc was based on Keith Richards from a photo by David Bailey and 2D was based on a friend of Damon and Jamie’s.

The project began as an experiment and commentary on popular media. It was inspired by Hewlett and Albarn binge watching MTV when the two were housemates in London. Hewlett

If you watch MTV for too long, it’s a bit like hell – there’s nothing of substance there. So we got this idea for a cartoon band, something that would be a comment on that.
