''Ladies & Gentlemen ... the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES!<br>

''Fella Americans ...<br>

DOOT, DOOT, DOOT<br>

'''FZ:<br>
''He's been sick.<br>

DOO-OO-OOT ... DOOT! DOOT!<br>
Teet-Teet ... Teet-Teet ... Teet-Teet ...<br>
Teet-Teet-Teet<br>

'''FZ:<br>
''And I think his wife is gonna bring him some chicken soup.<br>
<br>
Plastic people<br>
Oh baby, now ...<br>
You're such a drag<br>
<br>
'''FZ:<br>
''I know it's hard to defend an unpopular policy every once in a while ...<br>
<br>
Plastic people<br>
Oh baby, now ...<br>
You're such a drag<br>
<br>
'''FZ:<br>
''And there's this guy from the CIA and he's creeping around Laurel Canyon ...<br>
<br>
A fine little girl<br>
She waits for me<br>
She's as plastic<br>
As she can be<br>
She paints her face<br>
With plastic goo<br>
And wrecks her hair<br>
With some shampoo<br>
<br>
Plastic people<br>
Oh baby, now ...<br>
You're such a drag<br>
<br>
'''FZ:<br>
''I dunno ... sometimes I just get tired of ya, honey ... it's -- Ah -- your hair spray ... or something.<br>
<br>
Plastic people<br>
Oh baby!<br>
You're such a drag<br>
<br>
'''FZ:<br>
''I hear the sound of marching feet ... down Sunset Blvd. to Crescent Heights, and there, at Pandora's Box, we are confronted with ... a vast quantity of PLASTIC PEOPLE.<br>
<br>
Take a day<br>
And walk around<br>
Watch the nazis<br>
Run your town<br>
Then go home<br>
And check yourself<br>
You think we're singing<br>
'Bout someone else<br>
<br>
But you're plastic people! (Woooooooooooooooooooh!)<br>
Oh baby, now ...<br>
You're such a drag<br>
<br>
Ooo-Ooo-Ooo Ooo-Ooo-Ooo Ooo-Ooo-Ooo Ooooooooh!
<br>
Me see a neon<br>
Moon above<br>
I searched for years<br>
I found no love<br>
I'm sure that love<br>
Will never be<br>
A product of<br>
Plasticity<br>
A product of<br>
Plasticity<br>
A product of<br>
Plasticity:<br>
<br>
'''FZ:<br>
PLASTIC! PLASTIC PEOPLE!<br>
PLA-HA-HA-HA-HA ...<br>
PLASTIC ... PEOPLE<br>
PLASTIC PEOPLE ... OO-OOOH OO-OOH ...<br>
PLASTIC ...<br>
''A prune is a vegetable ... no, a prune is not a vegetable. Cabbage is a vegetable ... makes it O.K.<br>
PLASTIC PEOPLE<br>
PLASTIC PEOPLE, PLASTIC PEOPLE!<br>
Ooo-Hoo-Hoo<br>
Ooo-ooh-ooh-ooh Hoo-Hoo<br>
Ooh-ooh Ooh-Hoo-Hoo-Hoo<br>
