lyrics

Well I was heading to the Overtone house to watch a little BSG
Drink beer, consult, rock out and eat a little MSG
But out of nowhere, I see a kooky goblin with a big-ass fro
Cruisin’ in a Scion, Mirage, Spark or maybe a Geo Metro
 
I saw Phil Spector driving in a Smart car
He's gonna hunt, trap, kill and bury his victims in the backyard
I saw Phil Spector driving in a Smart car
Oh no
 
Thought I saw him double back, did he make me with those creepy, deranged eyes?
Made me think of Ronnie, Dee Dee and Lana’s helpless, tortured cries
He was huffin’ amyls, held ‘em hostage, starin’ down the barrel of a loaded gun
Forced to hear “Baby, I Love You” ‘til 4 a.m. just ain’t no fun
 
I saw Phil Spector driving in a Smart car
If your song don’t chart, he’ll tear you apart – you won’t get far
I saw Phil Spector driving in a Smart car
Let’s go…
 
Be my little baby
Oh
My darlin’

When I finally get to J-Red’s, I’m shakin’ like a leaf about our terrifying fate  
He says, “Hey, you must be hittin’ the pipe Bro, he won’t be out ‘til 2028.”
Then outside, door knock, gun cocks, a voice says, “Is Ronnie around?”
Phil said, “You try to leave and a hail of lead will be your only wall of sound.”
 
I saw Phil Spector driving in a Smart car
He's gonna hunt, trap, kill and bury his victims in the backyard
I saw Phil Spector driving in a Smart car
If our song don’t chart, he’ll tear you apart – you won’t get far
 
Ooh
