Disco 9000 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
LA - here's to you
For being the kind of place a man can do his due
Out here the hippies skip, and they get their kicks
Bumpin' all night long, out on Sunset Strip
To the music of the brother man, who's got himself a plan
And makes him gain a boogie, man


[Refrain]
Down at the Disco... 9000
You better get down early, it's gonna be crowdy
Down at the Disco... 9000
People from coast to coast are talking about it, about it

[Verse 2]
Oh there's another man, he's got a boogie man
And he wants to be the king, of all the land
But his game is weak, and the brother plays for keeps
Cause you can't aim step to the boogie beat
And the way you play the game, let's get funky or spicy man
And the only king of disco men

[Refrain]

[Bridge]
It ain't nothing but a party
A place where you can get down
With some bad chicks, and some dynasty
Sixteen stories off the ground
Down at the Disco... 9000
Down at the Disco... 9000
Down at the Disco... 9000
Down at the Disco... 9000
(Everybody's gonna get down, down at the disco)

It ain't nothing but a party
A place where you can get down
They got some bad chicks, and some dynasty
Sixteen stories off the ground

Down at the Disco... 9000 (going to the disco)
Down at the Disco (Everybody's gonna get down) 9000 (down at the disco)
Down at the Disco (Never let the funk get down) 9000 (down at the disco)
I tell you where I'm going (Where everybody's gonna get down)
Down at the Disco (Down at the disco) 9000 (everybody's gonna get down)
I tell you where I'm going (Where everybody's gonna get down)
Got a lot of sun (Down at the disco) 9000 (everybody's gonna get down)
Down at the Disco (Everybody's gonna get down)
Now I walk to the disco (Everybody's gonna get down) 9000 (down at the disco)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
