--------------------------



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 on 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 sudsy yellow nozzle 

Of their foaming nocturnal 

Parametric digital whole-wheat 

inter-faith 

Geothermal 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'

WORK THE WALL 

WORK THE FLOOR 

WORK THE PIPE 

IN SERIOUS PAIN
