First Drafts of Rock takes a look at the original version of The Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go" featuring Kevin Bacon. Full lyrics below:
KEVIN
Darling you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you want to have me stay
Then I will not go away
But if you just want me to go
Then just say, “Hey you should go.”
JIMMY
If I stay I will be here
But if I go I won’t be here
If I go I will be there
And if I stay I won’t be there
So just to recap go means there
And if I stay then that means here
JIMMY/KEVIN
Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go I will not stay here
If I stay I will not go there
So come on and let me know…
KEVIN
I got no problem either way
Would you prefer for me to stay?
You know what, how ‘bout I just stay?
Unless you think I shouldn’t stay
On second thought, maybe I’ll go
But on third thought, I think I’ll stay
JIMMY
I got a coin that I will throw
KEVIN
Heads I stay, tails I go
JIMMY
Where's the coin, Mick, do you know?
KEVIN
Wait I thought you had the coin, Joe
JIMMY
Did you check in your coin sorter?
KEVIN
I did but could not find the quarter
JIMMY
I don't know what to do at all
KEVIN
We should ask a Magic 8-Ball
JIMMY
The 8-Ball says Ask Again Later
KEVIN
Mine also says Ask Again Later
JIMMY
I think I know just what to do
Why don't I ask my Rubik’s cube?
KEVIN
Cuz it's a cubic 3D puzzle
JIMMY
That’s cool, it really is no trouble
KEVIN
Fine, did it tell you you should go?
JIMMY
It told me blue, red, and yellow.
JIMMY/KEVIN
A Rubik's Cube can’t answer questions
A Rubik's Cube can’t answer questions
A Rubik's Cube can’t answer questions
A Rubik's Cube can’t answer questions
KEVIN
What should we do, I still don’t know
JIMMY
You know what? We're just gonna go.
