Lyrics Frank Zappa

Frank Zappa

Mudd Club

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 yerself

MUDD CLUB

All the way downtown

MUDD CLUB

They ain't messin' around

Just turn to the left 'n look around

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

(Fact of the matter it's made for you.. .)

Try it on a Saturday 'bout four o'clock in the mornin'

Or even a Monday at midnight

When there's just a few of them Fabulous Poodles

Doin the Peppermint Twist for real

In black sack dresses with nine inch heels

And then a guy with a blue mohawk comes in

In Serious Leather. ..

(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

Geo-thermal terpsichorean ejectamenta)

In Serious Leather. . .Serious Chains

Then they work the wall

'N work the floor

'N work the pipe

'N work the wall some more

In Serious Leather

In Serious Chains

In Serious Clothing

From when they come downtown

From the ruins of Studio 54

To twist 'n frugg

In an arrogant gesture

To the best of what the 20th Century has

to offer, at the MUDD CLUB

Al Malkin's down there now

Looking for a virgin with nice breath...

(Why, maybe it's you. . . And you don't even know it!)

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 yerself while you

WORK THE WALL

WORK THE FLOOR

WORK THE PIPE

IN SERIOUS PAIN
