Lyrics – Ramones – Blitzkrieg Bop
From the album Ramones, the song Blitzkrieg Bop was released in 1976. Written primarily by Tommy Ramone (Ramones‘ drummer) and Dee Dee Ramone (the bassist), the song became one of the most iconic punk rock anthems of all time. Inspired by 1960s bubblegum pop, surf rock, and the raw power of bands like the Stooges and the MC5, he and Dee Dee crafted a song that was short, explosive, and irresistibly catchy.
Hey ho, let’s goHey ho, let’s goHey ho, let’s goHey ho, let’s go
They’re forming in a straight lineThey’re going through a tight windThe kids are losing their mindsBlitzkrieg BopThey’re piling in the back seatThey generate steam heatPulsatin’ to the backbeatBlitzkrieg Bop
Hey ho, let’s goShoot them in the back nowWhat they want, I don’t knowThey’re all revved up and ready to go
They’re forming in a straight lineThey’re going through a tight windThe kids are losing their mindsBlitzkrieg BopThey’re piling in the back seatThey generate steam heatPulsatin’ to the backbeatBlitzkrieg Bop
Hey ho, let’s goShoot them in the back nowWhat they want, I don’t knowThey’re all revved up and ready to go
They’re forming in a straight lineThey’re going through a tight windThe kids are losing their mindsBlitzkrieg BopThey’re piling in the back seatThey generate steam heatPulsatin’ to the backbeatBlitzkrieg Bop
Hey ho, let’s goHey ho, let’s goHey ho, let’s goHey ho, let’s go
