intro : ( after ending 1 go straight into verse 2 )

verse 2 : ( same as verse 1 )

shes seen all the classics
she knows every line
breakfast club , pretty in pink
even saint elmos fire
she rocked out to wham
not a big limp biscuit fan
thought shed get a hand
on a member of duran duran

wheres the mini – skirt made of snake skin
and whos the other guy singing in van halen
when did reality become t . v .
what ever happen to sitcoms , game shows
( on the radio there was )
