Oko Town
77 Bombay Street Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I dreamed I was with Ben Roy in a fight
He punched me right in my head
I thought I'll be dead
But I wasn't dead so I got back to my track
I stood up and hit him he turned into a wrack
I felt like superman cause I defeated a bad man
The ulalala of Oko town
I defeated Ben Roy and I'm singing with joy
Three minutes later my dream was gone
I woke up, went down to see my lawn
Looked up right to the stars
Wished I cloud fly up to Mars
Got back to my bed and closed my eyes
I had the same dream and started to realize
I'm the boss in this town and no more the unfunny clown
I oh I, I defeated Ben Roy
I oh I and I'm singing, singing, singing with joy
The ulalala of Oko town
The ulalala of Oko town
I defeated Ben Roy and I'm singing with joy
One more time
I oh I, I defeated Ben Roy
I oh I and I'm singing, singing, singing with joy
The ulalala, everybody
The ulalala, sing along
The ulalala of Oko town
The ulalala of Oko town
The ulalala of Oko town
I defeated Ben Roy and I'm singing with joy
Oh oh, I'm in Oko town
Oh oh, I'm in Oko town

The person then realizes that they are the boss of the town and no longer the "unfunny clown", giving them a sense of power and control.
