Danny says we gotta go
            A   B
Gotta go to Idaho
        E
But we can't go surfin'
             A    B
'cause it's 20 below

Sound check's at 5:02
Record stores and interviews
Oh, but I can't wait
To be with you tomorrow

Chorus:
      A   B  E
Baby oho-ho-ho
    A      B       E
We got nowhere to go
      A B         C#               A B
And it may sound funny, but it's true

Hangin' out in 100 B
Watching Get Smart on TV
Thinking about
You and me and you and me

 D
Hangin' out in L.A. and there's nowhere to go
A
It ain't Christmas if there ain't no snow
 D
Listening to Sheena on the radio oh-oh-oh
B            E
Oh-ho oh-ho woah-ho

Listening to Sheena on the radio oh-oh-oh
Oh-ho oh-ho woah-ho
