I went down to the Paradise Garage
And took my place in line
The cashier said
"Are you alright?," I said "I'm feeling fine"
I'm a stranger to Nirvana
I don't box outside my weight
But when I stepped out of the taxi
I did not anticipate this feeling
"Oh, excuse me, sir
No, after you"
Baby's got a dream and she can boogie
Daddy's got a groove that's coming clean
Jemima's got a vision of a permanent position
Me, I'm oiling up my dance machine
And it goes like this
And it goes like this
And it goes like this
And it goes like this
I'm from Plainsboro, New Jersey
And I didn't bring a date
I guess, I really wasn't sure
If you'd be boogeying this late
I can't think where I put my wallet
Naive suburban fool
You wouldn't think that I'd spent hours outside
French-polishing my cool and feeling so strange
Baby's got a dream and she can boogie
Daddy's got a groove that's coming clean
Jemima's got a vision of a permanent position
Me, I'm oiling up my dance machine
And it goes like this
And it goes like this
And it goes like this
And it goes like this
I really only stepped inside to vary my routine
You see, I read about this discotheque in New York Magazine
"Hey, Baby,
What's your sign? Haven't we met before?"
I really must suggest
That we've achieved a rare rapport
Hit the ceiling
