You Can't Kill Joey Ramone

No no no

Joey don’t go

Hey hey hey

Don’t take Joey away

Well I heard it on the TV

So I know it must be true

But I still can’t quite believe it

‘Cause there’s some things you can’t do

You can lead a horse to water

But you can’t get blood from a stone

And you can lead sheep to the slaughter

But you can’t kill Joey Ramone

No no no

Joey don’t go

Hey hey hey

Don’t take Joey away

Well you can burn your leather jacket

Take the headphones off your head

And you can throw away your records

‘Cause rock and roll is dead

You can pawn your Stratocaster

Sell your microphone

We’re headed for disaster

‘Cause you can’t kill Joey Ramone

No no no

Joey don’t go

Hey hey hey

Don’t take Joey away

Too cool to live

Too tough to die

So much to give

No time to try

No no no

Joey don’t go

Hey hey hey

Don’t take Joey away

Well now somewhere on the Bowery

There’s a gathering of drunks

With a bottle in a brown bag

But not for all the punks

‘Cause down at CBGBs

Everybody drinks alone

But save your prayers for DeeDee

‘Cause you can’t kill Joey Ramone
