Hey, daddy-o
I don't want to go down to the basement
There's somethin' down there
I don't want to go
Hey, Romeo
There's somethin' down there
I don't want to go down to the basement

Hey, daddy-o
I don't want to go down to the basement
There's somethin' down there
I don't want to go
Hey, Romeo
There's somethin' down there
I don't want to go down to the basement

Hey, daddy-o
I don't want to go down to the basement
There's somethin' down there
I don't want to go
Hey, Romeo
There's somethin' down there
I don't want to go down to the basement

    "I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement" was written by Dee Dee and Johnny celebrating their love of horror films. The "I don't wanna" theme continues as the opposite of "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue," inspired by the Stooges. The descending bass line was inspired by "Hang On To Yourself" by David Bowie.
