What gives you this crazy thought
That you can talk to my woman
What’s your claim to fame
What gives you half a mind
To even think her name
What’s your claim to fame?
What’s your name?

Gonna give you just one more chance
To make amends to my woman
You got yourself to blame
Only thing that’s left to do
Is to think real hard about what you’re gonna do
About your crazy game
What’s your name?

What’s your name?
Who the hell do you think you are?
What’s your game?
Are you some ‘Top of the Pops’ star?

What gives you this crazy thought
That you think you can talk to my woman
What’s your claim to fame?
What gives you half a mind
To even think her name
What’s your claim to fame?
What’s your name?
