Let me introduce myself to you
All you parents out there
I’m the one you try to frighten your children with
So listen with care
I tell your kids to play in the street
I tell ’em take rides with strangers
I’m there when you’re not
I’m there in their mind
Show ’em what’s nice about dangers
I tell ’em tales of bulldogs with rubberteeth
And cops with wooden legs
I make ’em love those nasty rock’n’roll bands
Tattoos, drugs and perverted sex
Kids love me
Yeah, kids love me – You know why?
I created all the nice little dangers
You’re so petrified of.
I made the bottles you keep under the sink
Looking so harmless and jolly appetizing
I invented the subway to surf in
And… ah, yes: punk rock
Kids love me
