[Intro] Here we are At the Mudd Club, y'all I hope enjoy yourself 'Cause the show is about to begin [Chorus] Hey, they're really dancin' They're on auto-destruct On the floor On the pipe Bouncin' off-a the wall Hey, the people here are really Tearin' it up On the side In the back By the front of the stage They ain't really crazy You can take it from me I should know Cause I go Every time I'm in town If you never tried it Lemme straighten you out It's the best kinda place To unfasten yourself (Mudd Club) [Verse 1] All the way downtown (Mudd Club) They ain't messin' around (Mudd Club) Just turn to the left 'n look around Because it's there somewhere If you ain't found it, better hurry up The folks down there's on auto-destruct *And so can you be too* The fact of the matter *It's made for you* [Verse 2] Try it on a Saturday about four o'clock in The morning Or even on a Monday at midnight When there's just a few of them Fabulous Poodles Doin' the Peppermint Twist for real In a black sack dresses with nine inch heels And then a guy with a blue mohawk comes in (Hoi-oi-oi-oi) In serious leather (Hoi-oi-oi-oi) [Verse 3] And all the rest of whom for which To whensonever of partially Indeterminate Bio-chemical degradation Seek the path to the sudsy yellow nozzle Of their foaming nocturnal Parametric digital whole-wheat Inter-faith Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta (Hoi-oi-oi-oi) [Verse 4] In serious leather (Hoi-oi-oi-oi) Serious chains (Hoi-oi-oi-oi) Serious clothing (Hoi-oi-oi-oi) From when they come downtown From the ruins of Studio 54 To twist and frugg In an arrogant gesture To the best of what the 20th century Has to offer *At the Mudd Club* Al Malkin is down there right now Looking for a Virgin with nice breath *Why, maybe it's you* And you don't even know it! [Chorus] Hey, they're really dancin' They're on auto-destruct On the floor On the pipe Bouncin' off-a the wall Hey, the people here are really Tearin' it up On the side In the back By the front of the stage They ain't really crazy You can take it from me I should know Cause I go Every time I'm in town If you never tried it Lemme straighten you out It's the best kinda place To unfasten yourself
