I hear Denise is back on the outside
and she's got a wicked plan
She's callin' in the Gong Sisters again
to form the ultimate five chord (?) band
For eight months now in that freaking cell
she's been knocking ideas around
Now she's good and ready to make a big noise
right here in her own home town

Here comes the H Gang
slammin' into heat town
you better get off the stage boys
they'll be lookin' for a showdown
VERSE 2 - Repeat "VERSE 1"
On a moonless night they started off
on a buss called happy days
to bring their vision to cities and towns
across the USA
And in every club and hall they played
the crowd knew every word
and even today, folks are talkin' about
the incredible sounds they heard
CHORUS 2 - Repeat CHORUS 1"
Here comes the H Gang
turn on the floodlights
get off the stage son
unless you're lookin' for a kickfight(?)

What ever happened to the H Gang?
Some say they were the best
Some say they broke up
Denise got hitched, and she's living in the midwest
There's a film that's in production
the working title "Song of Desire"
About an orphan girl with this crazy red hair
and a voice, and a dream, and a soul on fire
CHORUS 3 - Repeat "CHORUS 1, CHORUS 2" until fade
