[Spoken Intro]
In the back of my mind, an animalistic ritual
Me swinging from a brass pole
Primal vibe is the way to describe
Dancing in my cage, I'm riding high
And there is no one better step for stroke
For the girl in the cage, there's still hope
And as you peep the scheme of things
You'll find you're living in my dreams
Yeah, I'm the go-go dancer
[Chorus]
Go-go dancer
I'm the life of the party
Go-go dancer
Nothing can stop my body
Go-go dancer
Dancing's all I want to do
[Verse 1]
Caged in a rage, the beat hits
I step into my four-by-six cell now, ah
Sho'nuff in the house as I elevate
But in my mouth's a bad taste
This situation I'm sometimes placed
Is it art? Or just a display of flesh contained
Slanging and banging to a bass drum
Silhouetted by lights, caught up in the hype
I'm doing my own thing night after night
[Chorus]
Go-go dancer
I'm the life of the party
Go-go dancer
Nothing can stop my body
Go-go dancer
Dancing's all I want to do (G-O, G-O, dancer)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 3]
Crawling back and forth, no recourse
This is it for me and my life, yeah, and it's my choice
Somebody's tripping, I feel myself slipping away
Lights flashing, music playing as I grind in my cage
Every day and night
No matter what I do, whether wrong or right
The music makes me "Ooh" in the taxi cab
If the radio's on, off goes the top
And I'm going, going, going, gone (Ah)
[Chorus]
Go-go dancer
(Ah) Dancer
I'm the life of the party (G-O, G-O, dancer)
Go-go dancer
Nothing can stop my body
(Go, go, go, go)
[Bridge]
Excuse me, dandelion?
Do you want to dance?
You know you oughta try it
You might find some new romance
You know you gotta get wild
To tolerate this world today
You gotta do it with style
I got a game, want to play?
[Chorus]
Go-go dancer
Go-go dancer
Go-go dancer
Go-go dancer
(Ah)
[Verse 4]
Life of the party
Night after night, I work my butt off
While the women roll their eyes and the fellas gawk, yeah
But it's something that I'm used to
An occupational hazard
You see, I do what I gotta do to make ends meet, yo
I dance and sweat in a cage to a go-go beat
Though at times it feels demeaning
This feeling that I'm feeling
It's a love and hate thing, catch my meaning? (Ah)
[Chorus]
Go-go dancer
I'm the life of the party (G-O, G-O, dancer)
Go-go dancer
Nothing can stop my body (Go)
Go-go dancer
Dancing's all I want to do (G-O, G-O, dancer)
(Ah)
(G-O, G-O, dancer)
(Go)
Go-go dancer (G-O, G-O, dancer)
Go-go dancer (Ah)
Go-go dancer (Go)
Go-go dancer (Let's go!)
[Outro]
Go-go dance, go-go dance, go-go dance (Dance, dance)
Go-go dance, go-go dance, go-go dance (Dance, dance)
Go-go dance, go-go dance, go-go dance (Dance, dance)
Go-go dance, go-go dance, go-go dance (Dance, dance)
(Let's go!)
(Let's go! Let's go!)
(Let's go! Let's go!) Go-go dancer
(Let's go! Let's go!)
(Let's go!) Go-go dancer
(Ah)
