Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, ho, let's go!
Hey, ho, let's go!
Hey, ho, let's go!
Hey, ho, let's go!

They're formin' in a straight line
They're goin' through a tight one
The kids are losin' their minds
The Blitzkrieg Bop
They're pilin' in the back seat
They're generatin' steam heat
Pulsatin' to the back beat
The Blitzkrieg Bop

Hey, ho, let's go!
Shoot 'em in the back now
What they want, I don't know
They're all revved up and ready to go

They're formin' in a straight line (Let's go!)
They're goin' through a tight wind (Let's go!)
The kids are losin' their minds
The Blitzkrieg Bop (Hey, ho, let's go!)
They're pilin' in the back seat (Let's go!)
They're generatin' steam heat (Let's go!)
Pulsatin' to the back beat
The Blitzkrieg Bop (Hey, ho, let's go!)

Hey, ho, let's go!
Shoot 'em in the back now
What they want, I don't know
They're all revved up and ready to go
Ready to go, ready to go
Ready to go, ready to go
Ready to go, ready to go
Ready to go. Let's go-go-go!

Hey, ho, let's go!
Hey, ho, let's go!
Hey, ho, let's go!
Hey, ho, let's go!

They're formin' in a straight line (Let's go!)
They're goin' through a tight wind (Let's go!)
The kids are losin' their minds
The Blitzkrieg Bop (Hey, ho, let's go!)
They're pilin' in the back seat (Let's go!)
They're generatin' steam heat (Let's go!)




Pulsatin' to the back beat
The Blitzkrieg Bop (Hey, ho, let's go!)
