Who could imagine . . .

Who could imagine
That they would freak out in Washington, D.C.
(AC/DC bop-bop-bop)

Ditty-bop-bop-bop
Plastic folks, you know
It won^,t happen here
You^,re safe, mama
(No no no)
You^,re safe, baby
(No no no)
You just cook a tv dinner
(No no no)
And you make it
Bop bop bop
(No no no)
Oh, we^,re gonna get a tv dinner and cook it up
(No no no no no no no!)
Oh, get a tv dinner and cook it up
Cook it up
Oh, and it won^,t happen here
Who could imagine
That they would freak out in the suburbs!
(No no no no no no no no no no
Man you guys are really safe
Everything^,s cool)

I remember (tu-tu)
I remember (tu-tu)
I remember (tu-tu)
They had a swimming pool
I remember (tu-tu)
I remember (tu-tu)
They had a swimming pool
I remember (tu-tu)
I remember (tu-tu)
They had a swimming pool

And they thought it couldn^,t happen here
(duh duh duh)
They knew it couldn^,t happen here
They were so sure it couldn^,t happen here
But . . .

Suzy . . .
Yes yes, oh yes-I^,ve always felt that
Yes, I agree man, it really makes it . . . yeah . . .
It^,s a real THING, man, it really makes it

FZ: Suzy, you just got to town, and we^,ve been . . . we^,ve been very interested in your development
Suzy: Forget it!

Hmmmmmmmmm
