And I forgot the next verse

What are the words, oh nevermind

Chorus:
Well I'm yellin' and I'm playin'
And I don't know what I'm sayin'
What's the message I'm conveyin'?
Can you tell me what I'm sayin'?
So have you got some idea?
Didn't think so, well I'll see ya
Outro: Chorus Riff
Sayonara, sayonara
