[JB]  If your toaster goes berserk,

It’s probably the work

Of a green gremlin.

[SH]  If your sugar tastes like salt,

It’s probably the fault

Of a green gremlin.

[JB, SH]  We’re the little folks who know

How to ruin a radio.

We’re the little ones who like

To steal a wheel from off a bike.

We’re the green gremlins.

[JB]  If your television’s wrecked,

You can probably suspect

A green gremlin.

[SH]  If your homework disappears,

You can trust your foremost fears

It’s a green gremlin.

[JB, SH]  We are always very quick

To play a dirty, rotten trick.

It gives us great delight

To watch you struggle in a fight

With a green gremlin.
