Singalong! MMMbop by Hanson

Don'thatemedon'thatemedon'thateme! IknowIknowIknow! Everyone auto-hates this song! But the lyrics are actually kind of awesome and deserve some attention. I mean, it's an mmm-boppy song about the fleeting nature of friendship and love, what could be better?

Ohhhh
Ohh ohh ohhhh
Ohh ohhhhhh
Ohhhh yeah

You have so many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You're going through all the pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast
Oh yeah
And they're gone so fast, yeah-e-yeah ohhh
So hold on the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
And when you get old and start losing your hair
Can you tell me who will still care-are-are
Can you tell me who will still care

Ohh ohhh
Okay yeah

Mmm bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du, yeah-e-yeah

Ba du, yeah-e-yeah

Said oh yeah
In an mmm bop they're gone
Yeah heah!
Yeah-e-yeah

Then I see you plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
It's a secret no one know-hoe-hoes
It's a secret no one knows
Oh hoes, no one know-ohs

Mmm bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop

Ba du, yeah-e-yeah

In an mmm bop they're gone
In an mmmbop they're not there
In an mmmbop they're gone
In an mmmbop they're not there-ere-ere
Until you lose your hair, Oh hoe
But you don't care

And you're sayin'

Mmm bop, ba duba dop
