Hey You!


In the mid 1990s, a large record depository (now disappeared) was of the opinion that 'Hey You' was the third worst single of all time!

Larry Hills, who wrote the song, (he was commissioned to write a song after the fashion of 'The Rocky Horror Show' by Safari Records) says:
"Tell you the truth, I would've been happier if it had been accorded the ultimate non-accolade. Worst would have been a claim to fame, third worst is just a really awful record!" 
"Hey, put your clothes on.
Hey, get out of my bed.
Get back to where you belong!
I must've been out of my head!

Hey, put you clothes on. 
Hey you, get out of my bed. 
You got what you asked for, honey, 
Now you better get out 'fore I see red! (See red?)

Honey, you ain't heard a word I said. 
Dream time is over, get out of the bed! 
You've been with me the whole night through, 
Now, don't you be greedy, there's others in the queue!

You're trying to rip me off. 
Acting so cool and coy. 
Well, I've seen your like before, 
I ain't no little boy.

They say I do it well, 
I don't have to spend my money. 
You got yours late last night, 
I don't owe you nothing, honey! (Oh, honey!)

Hey, put your clothes on! 
Come on, get out of my bed! 
Get back to where you belong! 
I must've been out of my head!

Hey, put you clothes on. 
Get up, get out of my bed. 
You got what you asked for, 
Now you better get out 'fore I see red! (See red?)

Who was it made you feel so good? 
Who's the envy of every stud. 
Who's the best you ever had? 
Who'd better watch out 'cos they're getting me mad?

Hey, baby, you got a nerve! 
You're driving me to distraction! 
You're gonna get what you deserve, 
I won't be responsible for my action!

I got a knife, I got a gun, 
I'll blow you up to kingdom come! 
I'll chop you up with the side of my hand! 
Oh, my God, she's a man!

Er, listen miss, I mean mister, 
I don't know who you are, 
And I don't know what you're doing here, 
I only know one thing right now, 
And that is that I want you out! 
O.U.T out! Get out of here!

Who was it said he'd take me for a ride? (Well, it wasn't me, that's for sure) 
Take me for a little walk outside? (Just what are you trying to insinuate?) 
Who was it had a lot to drink last night? (I can take my liquor as well as the next man better even!) 
And didn't have the strength to get it right? (Oh, yeah! Says you!) 
But promised me a morning to remember? (Unhand me, sir, I'm warning you.) 
Hey, stud, I'll be good, (Get off! Leave me alone! Listen, I'm a karate expert!) 
Don't worry 'bout the gender. (Oh, no, please, help me somebody! Oh, mother!)

(Hey, what's going on?)

Oh, baby, oh, what a scare. 
Everything was upside down, 
A crazy mixed up 
Black nightmare. 

The morning after the night before, 
I found myself with someone new, 
And to my surprise, I discovered, 
Oh, by the way, who are you? (Oh, no!)

Hey, put your clothes on. (I will, I'm not staying here) 
Hey, get out of my bed. (Where's my shirt?) 
Get back to where you belong! (You won't say anything about this, will you?) 
Oh, you're out of your head! (I have my reputation to consider) 
I sure ain't no lady, honey, (I'm going now.) 
You sure ain't no lady killer. (Don't do anything I wouldn't do!) 
Go play games in the jungle, Tarzan, 
With some lady gorilla."
