Manny, Moe & Jack Lyrics


When you're on the road
And your car won't pull that load
And your wheels aren't feeling, feeling fine
Well, I know of this joint
Where they'll check your plugs and points
I know these guys, they're three good friends of mineHey, Manny, Moe and Jack
They know what I'm after
Manny, Moe and Jack
They know what I'm afterManny, Moe and Jack
They know what I'm after
Manny, Moe and Jack
They know what I'm after
Manny, Moe and JackOnce you're inside
They're gonna take you for a ride
They got a good deal for you and your automobile
For the right price
They're gonna sell you fuzzy dice
And leather hand grips for your steering wheelManny, Moe and Jack

They know what I'm after
Manny, Moe and Jack
They know what I'm afterManny, Moe and Jack
They know what I'm after
Manny, Moe and Jack
They know what I'm after
Manny, Moe and JackIf it's tires you want
They got a lot for you
Dunlop, Firestone, Pirelli tooManny, Moe and Jack
Manny, Moe and Jack
Manny, Moe and Jack
Manny, Moe and JackManny, Moe and Jack
Manny, Moe and Jack
Manny, Moe and JackManny, Moe and Jack
They know what I'm after

They know what I'm afterManny, Moe and Jack
They know what I'm after

They know what I'm afterManny, Moe and Jack
I said, they know what I'm after
Manny, Moe and Jack
They know what I'm afterManny, Moe and Jack
They know what I'm after

They know what I'm after

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
The Dickies were amongst the first punk rock bands to emerge from Los Angeles, and the first California punk band to be signed to a major record label and appear on network television.

The Dickies' style was campy and humorous with obvious influences from The Ramones. They were extremely popular in the UK and had a top 10 hit with "Banana Splits (Tra La La Song)" in 1979; oddly enough, many of their lyrics were about aspects of Southern California life not easily decipherable to those unfamiliar with the region, in songs like "Waterslide", "I'm A Chollo", "Manny, Moe and Jack", and "(I'm Stuck in a Pagoda with) Tricia Toyota", which is about a local TV news anchorwoman.

Drug problems slowed them down considerably in the 1980s, but they have continued playing and recording sporadically to the present day. In 1988 they did the theme music for the cult classic movie Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

Former Dickies guitarist Steven Fryette, who laughingly claims to have been one of the few who "survived" being in The Dickies, now designs and manufactures guitar amplifiers from his FRYETTE Amplification studios in Burbank, California. His FRYETTE (formerly VHT) amps are known worldwide, and have been used by many of today's top Heavy Metal and Rock touring acts, including Helmet, Danzig, Prong, Children Of Bodom, and many others.
