My energy's high now
The vibe is just right
I've got this disco appetite
The feeling is groovy
The feeling is right
I'm getting ready just to rock all night
Caught me taxi to the house of sound
I took the ghetto way up town
And they will be waiting without a doubt
Two ugly bouncers just to kick me out
CHORUS
Don't throw me out of the disco
Don't throw me out of the disco
Don't throw me out of the disco
Don't throw me out of the disco
Makes me wanna holla
They took my twenty dollars
I know the reason why (Dreadlocks shine)
And when I groove I says I move with style
Ugly bouncers don't throw me out
Of the disco
Ugly bouncers don't throw me out
Of the disco
Ugly bouncers don't throw me out
Of the disco
Ugly bouncers don't throw me out
Of the disco
All these restrictions for my type
They try to deny me
My party rights
And I hate to think what
What the people say
On how the bouncers have been treating me
CHORUS
Don't throw me out of the disco
Don't throw me out of the disco
Don't throw me out of the disco
Don't throw me out of the discoI know that ????
I know that it got to be
No I ain't doin' much
Doin' nothing means a lot to me
Living on a shoe-string
A fifty cent millionaire
Open to charity
Rock'n'roll the welfare
Sittin' in a Cadillac
Listenin' to the radio
Suzy baby get on in
Tells me where she wanna go
I'm livin' in a nightmare
She's nothing but a wet dream
I've got myself a Cadillac
But I can't afford the gasoline
I got holes in my shoes
And I'm way over due
Downpayment blues
Get myself a steady job
Some responsibility
Can't even feed my cat
On social security
Hiding from the rent man
Oh, they make me wanna cry
Sherrif knockin on my door
Ain't it funny how the time flies
Sitting (on the seventh floor?)
Sippin' off the champagne
Suzy baby ????
Says she wants a cup of gin
Feelin' like a ????
????
Got myself a sailing boat
But I can't afford the ????
I got holes in my shoes
(And I'm way over too)
Down payment blues
