Helen Love Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sheena's in love with Joey Ramoney,
Wants to be his one and only,
Sheena's in love with Joey Ramoney

Joey Ramoney, whenever you're lonely,
All you got to do is call me,
There's a girl who loves you on the other side of the world

Sheena's in love with Joey Ramoney,
Sheena's in love with Joey Ramoney

He's seven foot tall, arms down to the floor,
In his ripped-up jeans he's making me scream,
Oh Joey, Joey Ramoney

He's got long black hair, he jumps in the air,
When he counts up to four it's like a nuclear war,
Oh Joey, Joey Ramoney

Do you remember when you heard him sing on the radio,
Joey Ramoney,
Don't he look good?
Joey Ramoney,
Don't he look good?
Joey Ramoney,
Don't he look good?
Joey Ramoney

Sheena's in love with Joey Ramoney,
Wants to be his one and only,
Sheena's in love with Joey Ramoney

Joey Ramoney, whenever you're lonely,
All you got to do is call me,
There's a girl who loves you on the other side of the world

Sheena's in love with Joey Ramoney,
Sheena's in love with Joey Ramoney

Hey ho, let's go,
Hey ho, let's go,
Hey ho, let's go,
Hey ho, let's go,
Gabba gabba hey hey,
Gabba gabba hey hey ho,
Hey!
Gabba gabba hey hey,
Gabba gabba hey hey ho,
Hey!
Gabba gabba hey hey,
Gabba gabba hey hey ho,
Hey!
