"Mono" lyrics - THE MONOTONES

(Fifties
Fifties)

Mono!

Way back in the twenties a very clever turkey found a way
To bring the people music, the radio
He called it: hey, hey
Come on girls, put your headphones on

(Dum, dum, dirooda)
(Dum, dum, dirooda)
Hi-fi stereo headphones
Stop it, I can't control it

(Dum, dum, dirooda)
(Dum, dum, dirooda)
Ultra high and ultra low

(Mono, mono)
I'm looking for a way to get back
(Mono, mono)
M-m-m-m, mono
The music of today is just a drag

I still recall the fifties (Fifties)
When rock and roll was heavy, it was fine
My head looked like a lolly
Just like Buddy Holly, what a time!

(Dum, dum, dirooda)
(Dum, dum, dirooda)
Rumble, wow and flutter
I don't care just like my mother

(Dum, dum, dirooda)
Ultra high and ultra low

(Mono, mono)
I'm looking for a way to get back
(Mono, mono)
M-m-m-m, mono
The music of today is just a drag

Listen, listen
Since I have a girlfriend
Disco comes to no end
I get mad

When I hear Perry Como
It really drives me mono
I feel sad

(Dum, dum, dirooda)
(Dum, dum, dirooda)
Hi-fi stereo headphones
Stop it, I can't control it

(Dum, dum, dirooda)
(Dum, dum, dirooda)
Ultra high and ultra low

(Mono, mono)
I'm looking for a way to get back
(Mono, mono)
M-m-m-m, mono
The music of today is just a drag

This record can be played on every modern lightweight pick-up
The stereo sound however can be reproduced only when stereo equipment is used

(Mono)

(Mono)
The music of today is just a drag

Listen, listen
Since I have a girlfriend
Disco comes to no end
I get mad

When I hear Perry Como
It really drives me mono
I feel sad

(Dum, dum, dirooda)
(Dum, dum, dirooda)
Hi-fi stereo headphones
Stop it, I can't control it

(Dum, dum, dirooda)
(Dum, dum, dirooda)
Ultra high and ultra low

(Mono, mono)
I'm looking for a way to get back
(Mono, mono)
M-m-m-m, mono
The music of today is just a drag

This record can be played on every modern lightweight pick-up
The stereo sound however can be reproduced only when stereo equipment is used

(Mono, mono)
(Mono, mono)
(Mono)

(Mono, mono) Get back, can you get back
(Mono, mono) I'm looking for a way to get back
(Mono, mono) Get back, can you get back
