It's 5 years late, but here's my best guess as a native speaker of English: The first noise he makes (during the intro) is hard to make out, but I *think* Booji Boy is saying, "Here we go guys!" As for the actual song: [Verse 1] "I'm looking for a long-lost book, I'm looking for a (not sure exactly what he says here, I think he's saying "pleasurable hook!", but that's kinda guessing on my part) "Something buried in the front of my brain, it disappears again and again! "And it comes, and it goes..." "It's a nightmare and a dirty trick, the (not sure here either, I think "rock-n-roll"?) leaves you feeling sick!" "Getting stupid is the price you've paid, looking for the one that gets away!" "And it comes..." [Chorus] "Hey, hey! What do you say? Nobody takes my bottle away!" "Oh no, it's not our day, I'm looking for the one that gets away!" [Verse 2] "I'm looking for a long-lost book, I'm trying to get off the hook!" "(Transformation?) from a boy into a man, going nowhere as fast as we can!" "And it comes, and it-" [Chorus] "Hey, hey! What did you say? Nobody takes my bottle away!" "Oh no, it's not our day, I'm looking for the one that gets away!" "Hey, hey! What did you say? Nobody takes my bottle away!" "Oh no, it's not our day, I'm looking for the one that gets away!" [Bridge] (There's no "singing" during this part, but Booji Boy says something) "What do you say, huh, DEVO? Pretty good, huh?" [Verse 3] "Man's an animal that just won't quit, a good cigar that explodes when it's lit!" "Getting stupid is the price you pay, you are the (This word's hard to make out, I think it's supposed to be "baboon") that gets away!" "And it comes..." [Chorus] "Hey, hey! What did you say? Nobody takes my bottle away!" "Oh no, it's not our day, I'm looking for the one that gets away!" "Hey, hey! What did you say? Nobody takes my bottle away!" "Oh no, it's not our day, I'm looking for the one that gets away!" (The actual singing part is over, but Booji Boy and the rest of the DEVO guys say some stuff during the outro) "Move over, Rover; let Booji Boy take over!" (Long pause) "Eddie Van Halen!" (Another pause) "Ted Nugent!" (One final pause) "Good night New York, good night! We're all DEVO! We're *all* DEVO!!"
