Hey Johnny, hey Dee Dee
Little Tom and Joey
You know we’re comin’ over
Sweet sweet little Ramona
You’re getting better and better
It’s getting easier than ever
Hey you kids in the crowd
You know you like it
When the music’s loud

Sweet sweet little Ramona
she always wants to come over
Sweet sweet little Ramona
I think I’ll try and phone her

I let her in if you’re wondering why
Cause she’s a spy for the BBI
I leter her in and I started to cry
And then I knew I wanted to die
Oooh, little Ramona

About Lyrics and Ramona by Ramones

The lyrics for Ramona are made up of the words, verses and background chorus for the popular 1977 song by Ramones. Like a lot of songs, the lyrics to Ramona have both direct meanings and metaphorical context hidden within the song's words. All of the meanings are only truly known by the creators of the lyrics for Ramona - Ramones and any of the writers who worked with them on the song.

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Ramona by Ramones in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Ramona" means the words set to the music of Ramona, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Ramones. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Ramona and the lyrics to Ramona are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Ramones who came here looking just for the lyrics to Ramona, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
