The Beatniks are coming to town

Gonna dig all the hip and the square

With their esoteric jazz

And their authentic hats

And their Latin incantations in the air

The Beatniks are coming to town

With their leather bound Nietzsche and Sartre

Gonna make all the good girls go bad

Gonna turn all the bad girls into stars

The Beatniks are coming to town

In their red Chevrolet

With the books that they stole from the library

They're gonna throw them all away

The Beatniks are coming to town

With their leather bound Nietzsche and Sartre

Gonna make all the good girls go bad

Gonna turn all the bad girls into stars

You can wear your peacoat

And your best black beret

But you'll never look as cool

As the Beatniks do today

The Beatniks are coming to town

Gonna be a Beatnik night

With their esoteric jazz

And their authentic hats

And their Latin incantations in the air

And the smoke from the cigarettes and flares
