Lyrics

Disco Dancer (12″ version)

I'm a disco boy

I'm a disco boy

I'm a disco dancer

But I've got no place to go

I'm a disco boy

I'm a disco boy

I'm a disco dancer baby

And my feet won't touch the floor

I'm a disco boy

I'm a disco boy

Oh no

I've been sleeping twenty years or more

I remember a long time ago

I'm a disco boy

I'm a disco boy

Nya

Nya

Nya

Nya

I've been looking for a dance to do

I've been looking for some answers too

Now I'm back to change your mind

Now I'm moving right in time

In a world that's turned unkind

I see what's going on behind my back

I'm a disco boy

I'm a disco dancer

And I keep dancing on and on

I'm a disco boy

I'm a disco boy

Oh no

I'm a disco dancer, baby

But I think that something's wrong

I'm a disco boy

I'm a disco boy

Oh no

I've been sleeping twenty years or more

I remember a long time ago

Now I'm back to change your mind

Now I'm moving right in time

In a world that's turned unkind

I see what's going on behind my back

Nya

Nya

Nya

Nya

Nya

Nya

Nya

Nya

I'm a disco boy

I'm a disco boy

I'm a disco boy

I'm a disco boy

I'm a disco boy

I'm a disco boy
