I went to the high school
And I went to the swimming pool
All I saw were long faces
I guess everybody's sad
Now that Joey's not here
I went down to Broadway
And I went out Veneta way
But I couldn't find a partay
Everything is closed
Now that Joey's not here
Joey Ramone is dead
Long live the king of fun
He went out like a man
Instead of blowing his brains out with a gun
I went to the liquor store
And I went to the drug store
I smoked a joint and several more
But nothing gets me high
Now that Joey's not here
I went to the disco
I saw the empty dance floor
I said where are all the foxy whores
No one's getting laid
Now that Joey's not here
Joey Ramone is dead
Long live the king of fun
He went out like a man
Instead of blowing his brains out with a gun
I went to the strip mall
And I went to the WOW hall
There was nothing going on at all
Everything is dead
Now that Joey's not here
I went to the record store
To quote the raven nevermore
The modern sound is such a bore
I guess I'm getting old
Now that Joey's not here
Joey Ramone is dead
Long live the king of fun
He went out like a man
Instead of overdosing like everyone
