And I can dance better than Eddie Vedder plays
And I can dance better than any Kid 'n Play
And I can dance better than Hello Kitty can.
And I can dance better than any Kid 'n Play
And Justin, he killed me
And just when it hit me
And Justin, it hit me
And just when it hit me
And just when he bit me
And just when it hit me
At first it wasn't easy
Playing rock and roll at night
At first it wasn't easy
Changing rock and roll and minds
Burnin' down the one night stands
Runnin' down the one night stands
Burning out the one-night stamps
Running down the one-night stands
Changin' rock and roll and minds
Changin' rock and roll at Myze
Come on, play some of that funky music!
Gonna play some electrified boogie music.
These are spoken right before the interlude.
Gonna play some of that for Papa now.
Gonna play some electrified boogie music.
Gonna play some of that for Papa now
Gonna play some electrified boogie music
Spoken right before the instrumental break
Got to stop to feelin' so low
Got to start to feelin' so low
How could I be so foolish [How could I]?
Tonight's the hours, the one behind.
How could I be so foolish [How could I]
To not see I was the one behind?
I decided quickly, yes I did,
To just go down and check out the show
I decided quickly, yes I did,
To disco down and check out the show
I'm flunking out in every way.
I'm funking out in every way.

Play-Doh and boogie
Lay down that boogie
So pumps stop trying and girl stop cryin'
So punks stop trying and girl stop cryin'
To Nazi, I was the one behind.
To not see I was the one behind
We're not talking music white boy
Play that funky music white boy
