Things have been tough
  Without the dum dum boys
  I can't seem to speak
  The language
  I remember how they
  Used to stare at the ground
  They looked as if they
  Put the whole world
  Looked as if they put
  the whole world down
      The first time I saw
  the dum dum boys
  I was fascinated
  They just stood in front
  Of the old drug store
  I was most impressed
  No one else was impressed
  Not at all
  And we'd sing
  da-da-da-da-da-da
  dum dum day
  Where are you now my
  dum dum boys are you
  Alive or dead
  Have you left me the last
  Of the dum dum daze
  Then the sun goes down
  And the boys broke down
      People said we were negative
  They said we'd take but
  we would never give
  But we'd sing da-da-da
  Da-da-da dum dum day
  Da-da-da-da-da dum
  And hope it would pay
  Da-da-da-da it's been
  A dumdumdum day
  A dum dum day
      Now I'm looking for
  The dum dum boys
  Where are you now
  When I need your noise
      Now I'm looking for
  The dum dum boys
  The walls close in and
  I need some noise
