[Verse]
AI was riding in my car
Screaming at the night
Screaming at the Edark
Screaming at frightA  
AI wasn't doing nothing
Just drive aboutE  
Screaming at the dark
Letting it outA  
That's all I was doingE  
Just Aletting it out
AWell, along comes a motorcycle
Very much to my surprise
I said, "Officer, was I speeding"E  
I couldn't see his eyes
He said, "DNo, you weren't speeding"
And he Afelt where his gun was hung
He said, "ELady, you were screaming
At the top of your lung"
[Chorus]
And you were dDoing it alone
You were doing it alone
You were Ascreaming in your car
In a twenty-mile zone
You were Edoing it alone
You were doing it alone
You were Ascreaming
You were doing Dit alone
You were doing it alone
You were Ascreaming in your car
In a twenty-mile zone
You were Edoing it alone
You were doing it alone
You were Ascreaming
[Verse]
AI said, "I'll roll up all my windows"
ADon't want to disturb the peace
I'm just a creature
Who is looking Efor a little release
I said, "DWhat's so wrong with screaming
ADon't you do it at your games
When the Equarterback breaks an elbow?"
When the boxer beats and maims
[Chorus]
But you were, Ddoing it alone
You were doing it alone
You were Ascreaming in your car
In a twenty-mile zone
You were Edoing it alone
You were doing it alone
You were Ascreaming
You were, doinDg it alone
You were doing it alone
You were Ascreaming in your car
In a twenty-mile zone
You were Edoing it alone
You were doing it alone
You were Ascreaming
[Verse]
I said, "AAnimals roar when they feel like
AWhy can't we do that too
Instead of screaming 'Banzai baby'
In the Ewar, in the human Azoo"
AHe said, "I got to take you in now
Follow me right behind
And let's have no more screamingE  
Like you're out of your mind"
So he Dclimbed aboard his cycle
And his Ared-eyed headlight beamed
And his Emotor started spinning
And his siren Ascreamed
[Chorus]
He was Ddoing it alone
He was doing it alone
He was Ascreaming on his bike
In a twenty-mile zone
He was Edoing it alone
He was doing it alone
He was Ascreaming
I was Ddoing it alone
I was doing it alone
I was Ascreaming in my car
In a twenty-mile zone
I was Edoing it alone
I was doing it alone
I was Ascreaming
We were Ddoing it together
We were doing it together
We were Ascreaming at the dark
In a twenty-mile zone
We were Edoing it together
We were doing it together
We were Ascreaming
We were Ddoing it together
We were doing it together
We were Adoing it together
We were doing it together
We were Edoing it together
EWe were doing it together
We were doing it together
We were doing it together aAlone
In a twenty-mile zone

[Verse]

I was riding in my car

Screaming at the night

Screaming at the dark

Screaming at fright

I wasn't doing nothing

Just drive about

Screaming at the dark

Letting it out

That's all I was doing

Just letting it out

Well, along comes a motorcycle

Very much to my surprise

I said, "Officer, was I speeding"

I couldn't see his eyes

He said, "No, you weren't speeding"

And he felt where his gun was hung

He said, "Lady, you were screaming

At the top of your lung"

[Chorus]

And you were doing it alone

You were doing it alone

You were screaming in your car

In a twenty-mile zone

You were doing it alone

You were screaming

You were doing it alone

You were screaming in your car

In a twenty-mile zone

You were doing it alone

You were screaming

[Verse]

I said, "I'll roll up all my windows"

Don't want to disturb the peace

I'm just a creature

Who is looking for a little release

I said, "What's so wrong with screaming

Don't you do it at your games

When the quarterback breaks an elbow?"

When the boxer beats and maims

[Chorus]

But you were, doing it alone

You were doing it alone

You were screaming in your car

In a twenty-mile zone

You were doing it alone

You were screaming

You were, doing it alone

You were doing it alone

You were screaming in your car

In a twenty-mile zone

You were doing it alone

You were screaming

[Verse]

I said, "Animals roar when they feel like

Why can't we do that too

Instead of screaming 'Banzai baby'

E A

In the war, in the human zoo"

He said, "I got to take you in now

Follow me right behind

And let's have no more screaming

Like you're out of your mind"

So he climbed aboard his cycle

And his red-eyed headlight beamed

And his motor started spinning

And his siren screamed

[Chorus]

He was doing it alone

He was screaming on his bike

In a twenty-mile zone

He was doing it alone

He was screaming

I was doing it alone

I was screaming in my car

In a twenty-mile zone

I was doing it alone

I was screaming

We were doing it together

We were screaming at the dark

In a twenty-mile zone

We were doing it together

We were screaming

We were doing it together

We were doing it together alone

In a twenty-mile zone
