Tantrum Rock
The songbook
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr. Explore this song from the Douglas Heyes Jr. collection.
We've invented a dance that looks suspiciously like refusing to go to bed. There's jumping, splashing, a cardboard box doing important transportation work, and a great deal of artistic disagreement with the grown-ups. Bring your lemonade. If anybody asks why we're making so much noise, tell them we're developing a new form of rock and roll.

TANTRUM ROCK Jumpin’ on your head Like a monkey in your bed Had a snack to eat Watchin’ Sesame Street Swingin’ from the rafters Party hardy after Crocodile and Fraggle Rock Rock your socks off till you drop Music's never going to stop Pop and Lock and roll the Rock Bunny socks down in your Crocs Slide downstairs in a cardboard box Mom says no, you got to go And you know what your mom says goes Dance demented down the block You invented Tantrum Rock Tantrum Rock, Tantrum Rock Throw a fit, get what you want When you think they've had enough You just start to huff and puff Tantrum rock, Tantrum Rock Ride your bike off down the block Neighbor lady says Don't stop Lemonade and Tantrum Rock You'll be stampin’ in your Pampers Pumpin’ in your jumpers A bumpin’ and a thumpin’ Kid, you're really somethin’ Whirlin’ like a dervish You make your daddy nervous Mommy said to go to bed But you just got enormous All the grown ups down below Cock-A-Doodle rooster crows Frenchy poodle licks your nose Splashing in the garden hose Everyone out of the pool Guess it's time to go to school Sugar ‘n spice ‘n everything nice Dance your pants off once or twice Tantrum Rock, Tantrum Rock Campbell's chicken noodle soup Two chickens in every pot Bugs Bunny, ya big galloot Big kids out there shootin’ hoops Boys and girls out on the stoops Bedtime soon at 8:00 Better throw a little Tantrum Rock
