    Sorry Mr. Zappa——

    “Dancin’ ——”

    Don’t know much about dancin’
    That’s why I got this song
    One of my legs is shorter than the other
    ‘N’ both my feet’s too long
    ‘Course now right along with ‘em
    I got no natural rhythm
    But I go dancin’ every night
    Hopin’ one day I might get it right

    I hear that beat; I jump outa my seat
    But I can’t compete,

    The disco folks all dressed up
    Like they’s fit to kill
    I walk on in ‘n’ see ‘em there
    Gonna give them all a thrill
    When they see me comin’
    They all steps aside
    They has a fit while I commit
    My social suicide,

    The beat goes on
    And I’m so wrong
    The beat goes on
    And I’m so wrong
    The beat goes on’n'I’m so wrong
    The beat goes on ‘n’ I’m so wrong
    The beat goes on ‘n’ I’m so wrong
    I may be totally wrong,

    Yowsa, yowsa, yowsa

    I got it all together now
    With my very own disco clothes, hey!
    My shirt’s half open, t’show you my chains
    ‘N’ the spoon for up my nose
    I am really somethin’
    That’s what you’d prob’ly say
    So smoke your little smoke
    Drink your little drink
    While I dance the night away,
