The Lyrics
The following is a tribute to a popular landmark and teenage mischief.
George and the boys blew back to town,
The football team had won the crown,
Nobody could put them down,
They were the toast of the town, the town, the town -
Nobody could put them down, they were the toast of the town.
They came to Bob's in Toluca Lake,
With plenty of car hops on roller skates,
He said, "All of you will be my dates!",
While I am in Burbank, Burbank, Burbank -
He said, "All of you will be my dates!", while I am in Burbank.
He grabbed those carhops one, two, three,
And threw them in the Chevrolet,
And sped off to the I 5 freeway,
With legs stickin' out the windows, windows, windows -
He sped off to the I 5 freeway, with legs sticken' out the windows.
The owner Bob Goldstein saw then run,
Whipped out his cell phone, dialed 911,
Sayin' "Cops! Cops! They took the car hops,
The gang is in Burbank, Burbank, Burbank -
Cops! Cops! They took the car hops. The gang is in Burbank.
The cops put out an APB,
And mobilized the BPD,
The whole freakin' thing was on TV,
What a crazy sight to see, to see, to see -
The whole freakin' thing was on TV, what a crazy sight to see!
On and up the I 5 they sped,
Oblivious to the chopper overhead,
'Till they saw some bright lights flashin' red,
The cops were waitin' up ahead, ahead, ahead -
They saw some bright lights flashin' red, the cops were waitin' up ahead.
The gang surrendered, the car hops split,
The boys landed in the pokey for the nite,
Their moms and dads were in such a snit,
And the boys were grounded for life, for life, for life -
Their moms and dads were in such a snit and the boys were grounded for life.
The football team had won the crown,
Nobody could put them down,
They were the toast of the town, the town, the town -
Nobody could put them down, they were the toast of the town.
They came to Bob's in Toluca Lake,
With plenty of car hops on roller skates,
He said, "All of you will be my dates!",
While I am in Burbank, Burbank, Burbank -
He said, "All of you will be my dates!", while I am in Burbank.
He grabbed those carhops one, two, three,
And threw them in the Chevrolet,
And sped off to the I 5 freeway,
With legs stickin' out the windows, windows, windows -
He sped off to the I 5 freeway, with legs sticken' out the windows.
The owner Bob Goldstein saw then run,
Whipped out his cell phone, dialed 911,
Sayin' "Cops! Cops! They took the car hops,
The gang is in Burbank, Burbank, Burbank -
Cops! Cops! They took the car hops. The gang is in Burbank.
The cops put out an APB,
And mobilized the BPD,
The whole freakin' thing was on TV,
What a crazy sight to see, to see, to see -
The whole freakin' thing was on TV, what a crazy sight to see!
On and up the I 5 they sped,
Oblivious to the chopper overhead,
'Till they saw some bright lights flashin' red,
The cops were waitin' up ahead, ahead, ahead -
They saw some bright lights flashin' red, the cops were waitin' up ahead.
The gang surrendered, the car hops split,
The boys landed in the pokey for the nite,
Their moms and dads were in such a snit,
And the boys were grounded for life, for life, for life -
Their moms and dads were in such a snit and the boys were grounded for life.

2Eagle, I love PP&M, but I DKTOS. Do you have an MP3 link or something?
Peter, Paul and Mary just seem to invite parodies, but I won't mess with The Wedding Song and there will be no poo songs. Notice that I spell things out and don't fall back on abbreviations.
