Young man, there's a place you can stay.
I said, young man, talk about nothing all day.
You can bicker, and do other dumb stuff
You can quit and leave in a huff

It's fun to be in a Y-A-M-O.
It's fun to be in a Y-A-M-O.

You can write pompous speeches and argue a lot
You can totally lose the plot.

Young man, are you kind of a jerk?
You have grand plans, but refuse to do work?
You have grand plans, but they're vaguer than murk?
Then you just need to know one thing!

You gotta be in a Y-A-M-O.
You gotta be in a Y-A-M-O.

Get meaningless allies
And rivals to fight
And sign treaties all through the night

Young man, is your nation a joke?
I said, young man, got an ego to stroke?
Need a project, about as solid as smoke?
Well I know where you are going.

You're gonna start up a Y-A-M-O
You're gonna start up a Y-A-M-O

You can get all inactive
Cause there's nothing to do
Then start it all up anew!

You wanna be in a Y-A-M-O
You wanna be in a Y-A-M-O...
