Oh, I'm living in a noisy neighbourhood
Writing words with a cruel pen
And I play my guitar to the radio
With a very, very shaky hand
Hear me singing, "Shooby doo-wop, shooby doo-wah
Shooby doo-wop, shooby doo-wah"
Feel my life's gettin' empty now
Living here in a bourgeois town
The T.V. news and their dumb-assed views
All I think of is getting out
Oh, mama, there is no shame
When you're runnin' to that great escape
There is still a little life in this world
Come on, dancing to the Universal
Talking 'bout the Universal
Living with the Universal
Mister, you're a part of this world
Come on, dancing to the Universal

Now Leonardo, he's got plenty to say
When he's got his friends around him
If I could get him in the light of day
I'd like to turn him upside down, hey
ย
I'm goin' up to the north coastline
The girls are pretty and the weather's fine
I'm tired of fightin', and I'm tired of tryin'
But I'll walk the wire for you one more time
Oh, mama, there is no shame
When you're runnin' to that great escape
There is still a little life in this world
Come on, dancing to the Universal
Talking 'bout the Universal
Living with the Universal
Mister, you're a part of this world
Come on, dancing to the Universal
ย
Oh-oh, living is change
Oh-oh, living is change
Oh-oh, living is change
ย
I'm talking 'bout the Universal
Oh, mister, you're a part of this world
I'm talking 'bout the Universal
ย
We're living with the Universal
And Mister, you're a part of this world
I'm talking 'bout the Universal, Universal
ย
Oh, Mister, you're a part of this world
We're living with the Universal
