Lyrics
Ice, snow, spikes, blow
Bobby, don't you think they know?
ooh, Bobby don't you think they know?
aren't you tired of pretending?
I know you're tortured below
aren't you tired of pretending?
I know you're tortured down below
Scag, shag, Mexican Mud
Little-Joe-in-the-snow
Bobby, don't you think they know?
ooh, Bobby don't you think they know?
aren't you tired of pretending?
I know, you're tortured below
but, ah, the pleasure you bring for us
ah, whenever you sing for us
ah, the pleasure you bring for us
ah, whenever you sing for us
8-track, 'A'bomb, white mosquito
of course they know!
snowcaine, toot and horse
then something worse
Bobby, don't you think they know?
Don't you think they know, Bobby?
ooh, Bobby, don't you think they know?
but ah, the pleasure you bring for us
ooh, whenever you sing for us
ah the pleasure you bring for us
ooh, whenever you sing for us
Ice, snow, spikes, blow - ooh
Bobby, don't you think they know?
don't you think they know
Scag, shag, Mexican mud
Little-Joe-in-the-snow
Bobby, don't you think they know?
of course they know!
