This is from Inferno tour in 2004, tribute song to Ramones.

Here’s lyric:

New York City, N.Y.C.,
Pretty mean when it wants to be,
Black leather,knee-hole pants,
Can’t play no high school dance,
Fuzz tone,hear ‘em go,
Hear ‘em on the radio,

Misfits, twilight zone,
R-A-M-O-N-E-S [2],RAMONES,
Bad boy rock,bad boy roll,
Gabba gabba,see them go,
C,Jay now hit the gas,
Hear Marky kick some ass,
Go Johnny,go, go, go Tommy o-way-o,
[Repeat]

Bad boys then, bad boys now,
Good buddies,mau [3],keep it up,
Rock’n'roll,good music save your soul,
Dee Dee, he left home,
Joey call me the phone.
[Repeat]

CBGB’s and ex-CBGB’s

Click HERE to start your virtualy tour in CBGB’s.
CBGB (Country, Blue Grass, and Blues) was a music club at 315 Bowery at Bleecker Street in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. Founded by Hilly Kristal in 1973. among other bands, Ramones started their career here. The storefront and large space next door to the club served as the CBGB Record Canteen (record shop and cafe) for many years. Eventually, in the late eighties, the record store was closed and replaced with a second performance space and art gallery, named CB’s 313 Gallery.

CBGB was utilized as a hot spot for touring bands to hit when they came through New York, the scene that kept the bar alive during the 1980s was New York’s underground hardcore punk scene. Sunday at CBGB was matinee day (also named “thrash day” in a documentary about hardcore).[citation needed] Every Sunday, a handful of hardcore bands took the stage in the afternoon to dinnertime hours, usually for cheap. Bands made famous by matinees include Reagan Youth, Agnostic Front, Murphy’s Law, Cro-Mags, Leeway, Warzone, Gorilla Biscuits, Sick of It All and Youth of Today. In 2005, a dispute arose between CBGB and the Bowery Residents’ Committee. The Committee billed Kristal $91,000 in back rent, while Kristal claimed he had not been informed of increases in his $19,000 monthly rent. After the lease expired, they reached an agreement for the club to remain for fourteen more months while Kristal dropped his legal battles and his attempts to get historic landmark status for the club. The final concert was performed by Patti Smith and broadcast live on Sirius Satellite Radio. Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers attended the show and even performed on a handful of songs with Smith and her band.

Hilly Kristal passed away from complications from lung cancer on August 28, 2007. In early October 2007, Kristal’s family and friends hosted a private memorial service in the YMCA near the village. Soon after, there was a public memorial where CBGB staff and others paid tribute.

This is the “CBGB’s” today, i mean where it used to be..

Hilly Kristal passed away

1234Ramone — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 17:00:44 +0000

Hilly Kristal passed away on August 28, 2007. So sad news. The closing of CBGB’s did happen in October, 2006. Now this. Like Mariano Asch wrote to me, it definitely means the end of an era. The CBGB’s was founded by Hilly Kristal in December 1973. Without CBGB’s history of punk and the Ramones would be so different. Hilly gave a chance to the Ramones and many other bands to play at his place, in those days when punk was new and 99 % of the venues did not gave a chance for them to play. Lot of love and thanks comes from me and from hundreds of thousands of people for You Hilly. It was always for me a big honour to meet You and I was also honoured to do with You interview for my first book Heaven Needed A Lead Singer: Fans Remember Joey Ramone. You was so widely loved and appreciated Hilly. I had a silent moment for You. I know that Joey, Dee Dee and Johnny Ramone and other people take a good care of You there in Heaven.

“When the punk scene was first starting out back in the 1970’s I played at CBGB many times with Richard Hell and the Voidoids and later with the Ramones. Hilly was always hospitable and a cool fatherly kind-of figure to me. I was always very grateful that he was supportive of this genre of music. Hilly was an integral part of the scene and we’ll miss him dearly.”
