"Mudd Club" lyrics
"Mudd Club"
And here we are
At the Mudd Club, y'all
I hope you enjoy yourself
'Cause the show's about to begin...
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!
Mudd Club!
Just turn to the left 'n look around
Because 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!
(De fact o' de 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 severely ignint white folks
Doin' the Peppermint Twist (for real)
In a black sack dress
(With nine-inch heels)
And then a guy
With a BLUE MOHAWK come in
In Serious Leather...
(And all the rest
Of whom
For which
To when-so-never
Of partially indeterminate
Biochemical 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!
In Serious Chains!
'N den dey works de wall!
Dey works de floor!
Dey works de pipe!
'N dey works de wall SOME MORE!
In Serious Leather!
Serious Chains!
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 de 20th Century have to offer
Including a generous supply
Of 'IGNINT McNUGGET'!
QUENTIN ROBERT DE NAMELAND
Down there right now
With a whole face-full of 'IGNINT McNUGGET'
Looking for a virgin with nice breath!
Why, maybe it's YOU!
And YOU don't even know it!
Hey, they're really dancin'
Dey REALLY dancin'...
They're on auto-destruct
On the floor
On the pipe
Bouncin' off-a the wall
Right offa dat wall, too!
Hey, the people here are really
Tearin' it up
Dey tearin' it off!
On the side
In the back
By the front of the stage
Took de boy's Mohawk off!
They ain't really crazy
You can take it from me
Uh-OH! I smells trubba!
I should know
'Cause I go
Every time I'm in town
CHRISTIANS comin' up!
If you never tried it
Lemme straighten you out
Lemme straighten you out, now...
It's the best
Kinda place
To un-fasten yerself
While you...
Get off dat wall now...

How do you feel
Just look at her smile

Souls are invaded, heart in a groove.
Beatin' and beatin' so outta time.
What's the mad matter with the church chimes?
Here comes a stranger up on Ninth Avenue....
