The Richard Hell song is actually a reworked version of a novelty song sendup of beatnik-ism called "Beat Generation" by none other than kitsch poet Rod McKuen and Bob McFadden in the early 1960s.
I can't seem to find the durn lyrics anywheres (anyone help?) though I have the song on a tape somewhere so if I ever find it I'll transpose them here, cos they're a hoot.
I remember only this: "I belong to the beat generation, and I don't let anything trouble my mind..."
