[Verse 1: Robert Palmer]
Hey, hey, on your marks, get set, go to zero
Present and correct, go to zero
North, south, east and west, go to zero
Nothing is the best, go to zero

[Chorus: Robert Palmer]
I do this and I do that
And when it's cold, I wear a hat
It's mostly cold
It pays to advertise they say
I'll keep my hat on anyway
Or so I'm told

[Verse 2: Robert Palmer]
When you're on patrol go to zero
By remote control go to zero
Forward, pause, return, go to zero
All roads lead astern, go to zero

[Chorus: Robert Palmer]
I do this and I do that
And when it's cold, I wear a hat
It's mostly cold
It pays to advertise they say
I'll keep my hat on anyway
Or so I'm told
[Verse 3: Robert Palmer]
When you miss your cue, go to zero
Start the dance, anew, go to zero
Black, red, white and blue, go to zero

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4: Robert Palmer]
When you lose the one, go to zero
Rewind can be fun, go to zero
Nudge it left and right, go to zero
Don't wait 'til tonight, go to zero
Go to zero

[Chorus: Robert Palmer]
I do this and I do that
And when it's cold, I wear a hat
It's mostly cold
It pays to advertise they say
I'll keep my hat on anyway
Or so I'm told
Go to zero

[Verse 5: Robert Palmer]
Everywhere you go, go to zero
Nought is apropos, go to zero
North, south, east and west, go to zero
Nothing is best, go to zero
[Guitar Solo]
