Biography:
Camper Van Beethoven is an alternative rock band that was founded in 1983 in Redlands, California, though the band soon moved to Santa Cruz, California. Camper Van Beethoven mixed elements of pop, ska, punk rock, folk, country, and acid rock into an eclectic, catchy and sometimes mysterious ensemble, years before the so-called alternative rock moniker came to mainstream attention.
The group's trademark violin-coated melodies and their ironic take on American culture put them one step away from being a novelty act in the eyes of many critics.

Intro: C F C F (x2)
(verse 1)
C F C F
Every day I get up and pray to Jah

Everybody's coming home for lunch these days

Take the skinheads bowling, take them bowling (x2)

Some people say that bowling alleys got big lanes
Some people say that bowling alleys all look the same
There's not a line that goes here that rhymes with anything
Had a dream last night but I forget what it was
(chorus)
(verse 3)
Had a dream last night about you my friend
Had a dream, I wanted to sleep next to plastic
Had a dream, I wanted to lick your knees
Had a dream, it was about nothing
(chorus x2)
