Lyrics

We look to the left and to the right
We need help but nobody’s in sight
Where is the man that we all need
Well tell him he’s to come and rescue me

Do do ‘n do do ‘n do dow
Do do ‘n do do ‘n do dow
Ken is the man that we all need
Ken is the leader of the GLC

Now head ’em up
Rope ’em in
Move ’em out
Now can’t you see
That we need the leader of the GLC

Do do ‘n do do ‘n do dow
Do do ‘n do do ‘n do dow
Ken is the man that we all need
Ken is the leader of the GLC

Who is the man we all need?
(KEN!!)
Who is the funky sex machine?
(KEN!!)
Who is the leader of the GLC?
(KEN!!)
Who is the man we all need?
(KEN!!)

Now head ’em up
Rope ’em in
Move ’em out
(KEN!!)
Can’t you see
That we need ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Do do ‘n do do ‘n do dow
Do do ‘n do do ‘n do dow
Ken is the man that we all need
Ken is the…

Who is the man we all need?
(KEN!!)
(KEN!!)

Do do ‘n do do ‘n do dow
Do do ‘n do do ‘n do dow
Ken is the man that we all need
Ken is the leader of the GLC!!
