Extreme

Keep your elbows off the table
Look before you cross
Buckle up your seat belt
Parental discretion advised

Said, keeping off the grass
Beware of the dog
A restricted area
Police will take notice

Oh no, don't wanna know
My ass from my elbow
No, no don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
Don't wanna know

Where there's smoke, there's fire
Don't be playin' ball in the street
Yeah, where there's smoke, there's fire
What you sow is what you will reap

Slippery when wet
Skating on thin ice
Caution, falling rocks
Give a hoot, don't pollute

Well, the Surgeon General's warning
Don't you drink and drive
Saying no to drugs
Hazardous to your health

Out of reach from children
Fatal if you swallow
Keep away from heat
Pull in case of fire

Oh no, I don't wanna know
My ass from my elbow
No no, don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

Where there's smoke, well there's fire
A-d-d-don't be playing ball in the street
Where there's smoke, ooh, there's fire
What you sow is what you will reap
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Where there's smoke, there's fire
D-d-don't be playing ball in the street
Where there's smoke (signals) there's fire (fire)
What you sow is what you will reap
Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Where there's smoke, there's fire)
(Don't be playing ball in the street)
(Where there's smoke, there's fire)
(What you sow is what you will reap)

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Extreme is an American rock band, currently headed by frontman Gary Cherone and guitarist Nuno Bettencourt. The band reached the height of their popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s with original line-up Gary Cherone, Nuno Bettencourt, Paul Geary and Patrick Badger.

Among some of Extreme’s musical influences are Van Halen, Queen, Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. The band played at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992. Geary left the group in 1994 to form an artist management company, and Cherone joined Van Halen in 1996. The band has described their music as “funky metal” in the early days, but it would evolve much more in the mid-1990s by blending classic rock influences with post-grunge and alternative rock.

They have released five studio albums, two EPs (in Japan) and two compilation albums since their formation. The band was one of the most successful rock acts of the early 1990s, selling over 10 million albums worldwide. Extreme achieved their greatest success with their 1990 album Pornograffitti, which peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200, and was certified gold in May 1991 and double platinum in October 1992. That album featured the acoustic ballad single “More Than Words”, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
