---

You took my money, baby

You steal my cigarettes

First chance I get

I'll be up and jet - I'm gone

You beat me up, you threw me out

You killed my dog and cat.

The "Ken-L-Ration" is yours

But I want the "Friskies" back

[Chorus]:

Ooooh, don't bring me down

Ooooh, don't bring me down

No, no.

You took my car, for just one night

Out to cruise the scene, that's what you told me

Now the engine's gone, the tailpipe's bent

My 8-Track's playin', Spring-st-st-steen

You call me a wimp, you say I'm a chump

Well your face is bent

And you smell like gorilla dump

[Chorus]

Ooooh, don't bring me down

Ooooh, don't bring me down

No, no, no.

Hear what I say... hear what I said now?

[Solo]

[Chorus]

Ooooh, don't bring me down

No, no.

Ooooh, don't ya bring me down

Ooooh, don't ya bring me down

Ooooh, don't ya bring me down

No, no, no.
