[Verse 1]
You can't get romantic on a subway line
Conductor don't like it, says you're wastin' your time

[Chorus]
But everybody wants some
I want some too
Everybody wants some
Baby, how 'bout you?

[Verse 2]
I seen a lotta people lookin' for a moonbeam
Yeah, you spent a lot, you got lost in the jet-stream

[Chorus]
But everybody wants some
I want some too
Everybody wants some
Baby, how 'bout you?

[Bridge]
Everything's getting slow
I don't think it's jetlag
You guys gotta try these energy drinks
(laughs)
(Japanese)
Play to me, baby
Play to me, play to me, play to me
(Japanese)
You know what I like?
You know what I like?
You know what I like?
Give it one shot
I like the way the line goes up your Japanese stockings, baby
Oh, don't take 'em off, just come up here on stage
Ahh, just a little more to the right, translate that
Ahh, who's lookin' at the clock tonight?
Give it up!
Give it up!

[Chorus]
But everybody wants some
I want some too
Everybody wants some
Baby, how 'bout you?
Ev'rybody wants some
Ev'rybody needs some (Yeah)
Ev'rybody wants some
Ev'rybody needs some
I say, yeah!
I say, yeah!
I say, yeah!
I say!

[Outro]
Are you havin' a good time so far?

Van Halen is one of the most iconic American rock bands of all time. Formed in Pasadena, California in 1972, the group’s primary line-up consisted of Eddie Van Halen on guitar, Alex Van Halen on drums, David Lee Roth providing lead vocals, and Michael Anthony providing bass duties and significant harmonies.

Their first six albums, recorded and released between 1977–1984, are considered to be classics and pioneering efforts in the field of hard rock. Eddie Van Halen’s groundbreaking guitar sound and techniques completely changed the landscape of music and radio culture in the 1980s. His and brother Alex’s virtuosity, along with David Lee Roth’s charisma and bassist Michael Anthony’s foundational contributions garnered the band early comparisons to their predecessors—Led Zeppelin—a group who had a profound influence on them. Though, even more so than Jimmy Page, Eddie cites Eric Clapton as having the biggest impact on his playing.

In 1977, after recording a demo with Gene Simmons (who wanted the band to change their name to “Daddy Longlegs”) they were introduced to KISS‘ management, who told Simmons they wouldn’t sign them
