Chain Saw Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh
Oh-woah-woah-woah
Oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh
Oh-woah-woah-woah

[Verse 1]
Sitting here with nothing to do
Sitting here thinking only of you
But you'll never get out of there
She'll never get out of there
Sitting here with nothing to do
Sitting here thinking only of you
But you'll never get out of there
She'll never get out of there
I don't care, oh-woah

[Chorus]
Texas chain saw massacre
They took my baby away from me
But you'll never get out of there
She'll never get out of there
Texas chain saw massacre
They took my baby away from me
But you'll never get out of there
She'll never get out of there
I don't care, oh-woah-woah
[Bridge]
When I saw her on the corner
She told me told me told me told me
She wouldn't go far
Ooh, now I know I'm so much in love
Because she's the only girl that I'm ever thinking of

[Chorus]
Texas chain saw massacre
They took my baby away from me
But you'll never get out of there
She'll never get out of there
Texas chain saw massacre
They took my baby away from me
But you'll never get out of there
They chopped her up and I don't care
I don't care, oh-woah-woah

[Outro]
Texas chain saw massacre
Texas chain saw massacre
Oh no
Oh yeah
Oh no
Oh yeah
Oh no
Oh yeah
Oh no
Oh yeah
Oh no
Oh yeah
Oh no

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The opening sound is of a circular saw – the kind of electric saw that you would use to cut a two-by-four. It’s not the sound of a chainsaw, like the one used so memorably in “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”

I’ve always wondered if the members of the Ramones didn’t know the difference (being New Yorkers who were sheltered from suburban life) or if they just didn’t care.
