"A Really Cool Dance Song" lyrics

We grew up in the suburbs
Got guitars for Christmas
And started a punk rock band
Then we traveled the nation
Became a sensation
In our '82 Dodge van

And now we're gettin' older
And much more sober
And we've got some big house payments to make
The wife wants a handbag
The kids need some college
We just need one hit single to break

Get ready here it comes (yeah)

This song sounds like a dance song
'Cause dance songs are cool now
So get up and shake what your momma gave ya
It's our attempt at a dance song
A really cool dance song
It's gonna be a great big hit!

And now the label's so stoked
They don't get the damn joke
The downloads are off the charts
Like those bands on the TV
In the frilly tuxedos
The ones that break the young girls' hearts

And now we can too (yeah)

This song sounds like a dance song
'Cause dance songs are cool now
So get up and shake what your momma gave ya
It's our attempt at a dance song
A really cool dance song
We can't wait to hear the remix!

This song sounds like a dance song
'Cause dance songs are cool now
So get up and shake what your momma gave ya
It's our attempt at a dance song
A really cool dance song
It's gonna be a great big hit!

Who the hell are we foolin'?
This isn't really what we do
We had to borrow this keyboard
We only listen to Mötley Crüe
But it's gonna be funny
'Cause this song will be number one

This song sounds like a dance song
'Cause dance songs are cool now
So get up and shake what your momma gave ya

This song sounds like a dance song
'Cause dance songs are cool now
So get up and shake what your momma gave ya
It's our attempt at a dance song
A really cool dance song
We can't wait to hear the remix!

This song sounds like a dance song
'Cause dance songs are cool now
So get up and shake what your momma gave ya
It's our attempt at a dance song
A really cool dance song
It's gonna be a great big hit!

It's our new sound!
We're gonna take it to the next level
You're gonna hear us in all the clubs
Dudes, wait, the drums just... dropped out
The drums
No it doesn't sound good anymore
It... I can't find the rhythm... on the... deal
It's... nah, it's cool... no it's not

Alright! We're back!
We are dancing this is awesome!
We are dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing
And we're dancing, dancing, dancing
Woo!
