Mikes mum used to say the Beatles weren't the same now John's gone And all that's really left is Paul McCartney and his frog song
Mike thinks she's not wrong As he puts some clean socks on And looks into the mirror he pops all his greasy spots on He hums along to a cheesy rock song Combing his hair, how much Ralph Lauren? Screw it put lots on He's already put a sign on his door so His friends don't knock for him Mikey must likey this girl lots then
Try not to wake up mike 'Cos last night the girl he likes cried Turns out he didn't get a kiss goodnight 'cos River Phoenix died
So later that night mike took her to this Italian place in Queens-way She had the pizza Magherita And he had the sea-bait She said she was a libra, and that her favourite band was green-day And she rarely drank either, so that made her a cheap date They flirted with some cheese-cake And then they left at nine And he walked her home back to her road just near Kensal Rise And just before he kissed her, her little sister ran outside With tears in her eyes She said River Phoenix has died
Try not to wake up mike 'Cos last night the girl he likes cried Turns out he didn't get a kiss good-night 'cos River Phoenix died
