Tony Ramone from 1975 by No-No Boy

Tony likes the Ramones
At least he thinks the t-shirt’s alright
Lucky rabbit foot on
His hair is ready for Friday night

Neon lights paint you so pretty
Bumming ‘round Chinatown
Ducks hanging up in the window
Waiting for Mrs. Chiu to come down
With a bottle of top-shelf baiiju
She got from a brother back home
Now, I’ll head down to Catherine Street
To find Tony Ramone

Tony likes the Ramones
At least he likes the “Blitzkrieg Bop”
We share a pair of headphones
And a cot up in a bachelor’s loft

The cat sweater lady’s selling sandals
On the corner of Mott and Grand
Her friend is bundled up like a child
Behind her, ray gun in hand
The fishmongers down on Henry
Perfume themselves with cigarette smoke
Now, I’ll head down to Catherine Street
To find Tony Ramone

Tony likes the Ramones
Ticket stub from the Palladium
His sister missed the show
Back to Queens on the F Train alone

Neon lights flicker off so quickly
Pale morning in Chinatown
I watch the funeral pass below the window
Then I walk with Mrs. Chiu down
To meet Rebecca around the corner
For their daily Columbus Park stroll
Now, I’ll head down to Catherine Street
Yeah, I’ll split for Catherine Street
I’ll head down to Catherine Street
To find Tony Ramone
