okay, i've tried to decipher 'em all but i can't get one line. and other ones are probably wrong. but if everyone helps we can get 'em all down.
here goes...
"i can hear the buzz and modulations of the universe,
but you're the first to make me feel it!
if only joy had a...
love bang crash wakka wakka bam thwok
love bang crash wakka wakka
bosses and offices on automatic drip
they got the keys to the city but we got a lotta shakin in our hips!
oh you know me
i love the universe i love all the listeners
watch it! here's 50 thousand watts of good will!
oh if only joy had a...
love bang crash awakka wakka bam thwok
(oh)love bang crash awakka wakka bam thwok
(oh)love bang crash awakka wakka bam thwok
(oh)love bang crash awakka wakka
*organ solo*
i can hear the buzz and modulations of the universe
but you're the first to make me feel it!
i love the universe i love all the listeners!
watch it! here's 50 thousand watts of good will!
love bang crash awakka wakka bam thwok
(oh)love bang crash awakka wakka bam thwok
(oh)love bang crash awakka wakka bam thwok
(oh)love bang crash awakka wakka bam thwok
(oh)love bang crash awakka wakka bam thwok
(oh)love bang crash awakka wakka!!!" |

" love the universe i love all the listeners!"
I thought that this line was, "I love the Universe, I love all of the Spinners"
Huh, isn't it weird how different ears hear different things. |

The Spinners, as in Liverpool folk-merchants of the 1970's and 1980's?
Cool.

Here's what me ears hears:
That pre-line into the chorus is sung:
"If only joy had a" then into chorus. They sing it drawn out: "aaaaaaaaaaaa" The line connects to the chorus. (Oh, if only joy had a love bang crash wocka wocka bam thwok."
Also, it's "they got the keys to the city but we gotta lotta shakin' in our hips." As in 'the bosses got the keys to the city but who gives a crap cuz we're having fun'. Heh heh. Good times.
And try listening to it as "Buzzin' modulations" vs. "Buzz and modulations". It's a toss up, but the former is easier to wrap your tongue around when singing, so that's probably it. |

Hey that's sexual, baby. I can't hear it that way, but then again, I'm American.
