{{lyrics<br />
|Neal Cassady drops dead <br />
And Allen Ginsberg’s tears shampoo his beard<br />
Neal Cassady drops dead <br />
And Allen Ginsberg’s lips tighten and thin<br />
Neal Cassady drops dead <br />
And Allen Ginsberg’s hosed down in a barn<br />
Neal Cassady drops dead <br />
And Allen Ginsberg’s 'Howl' becomes a growl<br />
<br />
Everyone has babies<br />
Babies full of rabies<br />
Rabies full of scabies<br />
Scarlet has a fever<br />
Ring’s full of ringworm <br />
Angel of distemper<br />
The little fella has got rubella<br />
Nipper full of fungus<br />
Junior full of gangrene<br />
Minor's melanoma <br />
Tyke full of gripe<br />
Whippersnapper scurvy<br />
Urchin made of acne<br />
Get that thing away from me<br />
<br />
Victim or life’s adventurer: which of the two are you?<br />
Victim or life’s adventurer: which of the two are you?<br />
