You're 17, evil and mean, comfy and cozy nowhere scene
You can't deny the loser inside all of your bad taste won't subside

You're outta sight keep me up at night you dress funny strapless and skin tight
You're outta sight you keep me up at night you make me crazy you wear it out of spite
Ban the tube top tonight
You're magical mystery girl tick tock you don't stop rockin' my world
You give high fives to all the guys you let me know that I'm alive

You're outta sight keep me up at night you dress funny strapless and skin tight
You're outta sight you keep me up at night you make me crazy you wear it out of spite
Ban the tube top tonight
There's a party that were all invited to but I don't care because I hate everyone in school
I ignore all the girls but you
Beautiful girl, ugly shirt you are a fashion red alert
But I can't resist, you've never been kissed and I've never been in love like this

You're outta sight keep me up at night you dress funny strapless and skin tight
You're outta sight you keep me up at night you make me crazy you wear it out of spite
Ban the tube top tonight

    General Comment:I thought by saying "ban the tube top" they meant "take your tube top off" but I guess I could be wrong. Great song, great band :D

    General Comment:Ah... I always thought of it as, there's this sad, dorky guy, and he likes this sad, dorky girl... and even though he loves her, he hates her fashion sense... Which kind of made sense to me because Reel Big Fish have such an individual and cool fashion sense themselves...

    So I thought of it as he loves the fact that tube tops reveal so much skin, but hates the general ugliness of the top.
