Lyrics
Disco boy! Run to toilet and comb your hair
Disco boy! Pucker your lip, and check your shoulders
'Cause some dandruff might be hiding there
Disco boy, your the disco king, aw the
Disco thing made you think someday that you
Just might go somewhere
Disco girl, you're outa sight, you need a
Disco boy, to treat you right
He'll do a little dance, take you home tonight
Leave his hair alone, but you can kiss his comb
Disco boy! Run to toilet and comb your hair
Disco boy! Shake it more than three times and you're
Playing with it while you're standing there
Disco boy, do the bump every night, 'til the disco girl
Who's really right, gonna fall for your line
And feed you a box full of chicken delight
Disco chit-chat so demure
Pump that booty all across the floor
A disco drink, a disco wink
You never go duty that's what you think
You never go duty that's what you think
You never go duty that's what you think
Duty, go duty
Duty, go duty
Duty, you never go duty
Duty, you never go duty
Duty, you never go duty
Duty, you never go duty
You never duty, go duty
Duty, you never duty
Disco boy! You got one more chance, to comb your hair again
Disco boy! They're closing the bar, and she's
Leaving with your friend
Disco boy, that's the way it goes, so wipe your nose, and
Try it again, to get a little lay tomorrow
Disco boy, no one understands, but thank the lord that you
Still got hands, to help you do that jerkin' that'll
Blot out your disco sorrow
It's disco love tonight, make sure you look alright
It's disco love tonight, make sure you look alright

Notes About This Song
From Zappa On Air:
FZ: That song came about because we were in Denmark and we went to a place there called the The Disc Club, and it was really poot. It was so make-believe sophisticated that it was embarrassing. The place was decorated like a playboy-type living room would sorta be like – lowboy chairs and snackettes on the table, and everybody drinks and dances to these robot beat records, which I happen to like you know. I'm very fond of monotony, I think it's an integral part of contemporary civilization and once you adapt to it you're better in phase with reality.
JL: Is this a blatant commercial sell-out on your part Frank?
FZ: No, I think that it's probably one of the funnier commentaries on the disco syndrome.
