[The band comes crashing in and Zappa sings:]
I 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
Got no natural rhythm
But I go dancin’ every night
Hopin’ one day I might get it right
I’m a dancin’ foo-oo-oo-oo-ool
I’m a dancin’ foo-oo-oo-oo-ool
I’m a dancin’ foo-oo-oo-oo-ool
I’m a dancin’ foo-oo-oo-oo-ool
I hear that beat, I jump outa my seat,
But I can’t compete, ’cause I’m a
Dancin’ foo-oo-oo-oo-ool
I’m a dancin’ foo-oo-oo-oo-ool
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
I’m a dancin’ foo-oo-oo-oo-ool
I’m a dancin’ foo-oo-oo-oo-ool
I’m a dancin’ foo-oo-oo-oo-ool
I’m a dancin’ foo-oo-oo-oo-ool
The beat goes on And I’m so wro-ong
The beat goes on
And I’m so wro-ong
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
The beat goes on ‘n’ I’m so wrong
I may be totally wrong, but I’m a
Dancin’ foo-oo-oo-oo-ool
I may be totally wrong, but I’m a
Dancin’ foo-oo-oo-oo-ool
[bares his shoulder, spreads his legs and gyratesarrhythmically]
I got it all together now
With my very own disco clothes, hey!
My shirt’s half open t’ show you my chain
‘N’ the spoon for up in 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
I’m a dancin’ foo-oo-oo-oo-ool
I’m a dancin’ foo-oo-oo-oo-ool
I’m a dancin’ foo-oo-oo-oo-ool
I’m a dancin’ foo-oo-oo-oo-ool
He’s a dancin’ fool
I may be totally wrong, but I’m a
I may be totally wrong, but I’m a
I may be totally wrong, but I’m a
I may be totally wrong, but I’m a fool, yeah!
