Slipped My Disco

The Tubes


Well the joint was jumpin' 
Maybe I got too high 
And the beat was familiar 
My feet were too sly 

I tried to hustle 
I tried to bump 
I was always steppin' 
When it was time to jump 

My baby said quit 
I told her I wouldn't 
If she asked me today 
I'd say I couldn't

is it worth the pain 
Get so twisted 
that you wind up lame 
Maybe it's my technique 
or is it my shoes

with the disco blues

Slipped my disco--he slipped his disco 
Slipped my disco when I was dancing with you, baby 

I begin to wonder 
is it worth the pain 
Get so twisted 
that you wind up lame 
Maybe it's my technique 
or is it my shoes 
Just another white boy 
with the disco blues
