What Is Punk? Lyrics by The Mr. T Experience

Night Shift at the Thrill Factory [1995 reissue]

0

Had a dream I was on TV
Phil Donahue meets Mr. T
I came on stage, sat down, and cracked a beer
Phil said, "I really love the band
My daughter is your biggest fan
But there is just one thing I gotta hear"

"What is punk?
What is punk?
What is punk?"

I said, "We drink a lotta Stroh's,"
And Alex punched him in the nose
"We see your daughter after every show"
Then we set fire to his hair
And stole his pen and broke his chair
He said, "There's just one thing I gotta know"

"What is punk?
What is punk?
What is punk?"

[Guitar solo]

We scrawled the walls with "MTX"
While Byron grabbed him by the neck
Frank said the seven words you shouldn't say
Then Alex started looking pissed
And said, "I hope we're paid for this"
And Phil said, "Thank you, guys, you made my day"

"But what is punk?
What is punk?
What is punk?"

"What is punk?
What is punk?
What is punk?
Huh?"
