==Lyrics==
<br>Be in my video,
<br>Darling, every night
<br>I will rent a cage for you
<br>And mi j-i-nits dressed in white
<br>(teeny-little-tiny-little . . . ) 
<br>
<br>Twirl around in a lap dissolve
<br>Pretend to sing the words
<br>I'll rent a gleaming limousine;
<br>Release a flock of
<br>Ber-herna-herna-herna
<br>Herna-her-nerds 
<br>
<br>Wear a leather collar
<br>(Wear a leather collar)
<br>And a dagger in your ear
<br>(A dagger in your ear)
<br>(Stabbinitin-stabbinitin-stabbinitin-stabbinitin-YOU!)
<br>I will make your nose smell the glove
<br>And try to look sincere, then we'll 
<br>
<br>Dance the blues
<br>(Oh yes)
<br>Let's dance the blues
<br>(We'll dance the blues)
<br>Let's dance the blues
<br>(We'll dance them very much)
<br>Under the megawatt moonlight 
<br>
<br>Pretend to be Chinese,
<br>(One-hung-low)
<br>I'll make you wear red shoes
<br>There's a cheesy atom bomb explosion
<br>All the big groups use 
<br>
<br>Atomic light will shine
<br>(Will shine) 
<br>Through an old venetian blind
<br>(Venetian blind) 
<br>Making patterns on your face,
<br>(On your face) 
<br>Then it cuts to outer space 
<br>
<br>With its billions & billions &
<br>Billions & billions
<br>
<br>Be in my video
<br>(In my video) 
<br>Darling, every night
<br>(Darling, every night) 
<br>Everyone in cable-land
<br>(Everyone in cable-gable-land) 
<br>Will say you're 'outa-site'
<br>(I say they'll say you're 'outa-site') 
<br>
<br>You can show your legs
<br>(You can show the pretty legs) 
<br>While you're getting in the car, then
<br>(In my red hot-rod car, then I . . . ) 
<br>I will look repulsive
<br>([With my big ears and all]) 
<br>While I mangle my guitar 
<br>
<br>Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon
<br>Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee,
<br>Moo-ahhhh 
<br>
<br>Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon
<br>Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee,
<br>Moo-ahhhh 
<br>
<br>Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon
<br>Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee,
<br>Moo-ahhhh 
<br>
<br>Tee-nu-nee----moo-ahhhh
<br>Tee-nu-nee----moo-wah-wah-wah-ooo 
<br>
<br>After all the close-up shots
<br>Of you in bondage leather
<br>They'll spray an alley with a [[Hose|hose]]
<br>And we'll escape together, while we 
<br>
<br>Dance de blues agin
<br>(I'm dancing the blues) 
<br>(Oh yes, we'll dance the blues)
<br>Led dance de blude agin
<br>(I'm dancing the blues)
<br>(Sure we will)
<br>Led dance de blues agin
<br>(I'm dancing . . . ) 
<br>(We'll dance them blues)
<br>In de middle o' de alley 
<br>
<br>Let's dance your face
<br>(Let's dance your face)
<br>Let's dance your lips
<br>(And dance your lips)
<br>Let's dance your nose
<br>(We can dance your nose)
<br>And then we'll dance your sinus
<br>MOO-AHHHH!
