Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Imagine in your mind a posh country club
The stuffy old money where the poor get snubbed
The spread is bland sauerkraut and boiled goose
There's no way these people will ever cut loose
But then I walk in the room, hold my boombox high
And what happened next, will blow your mind
Chorus
Everything got outta control
The music was so entrancing
Everyone got out on the floor
It was a bunch of old white people dancing
The Big Apple, where people never dance
Spirits go down while profits expand
The cops or the dealers, who's got the juice
The street vendors peddling their boiled goose
So many types of people will never get along
Till I bust out my boombox and play this song
Chorus
The music washed away all the hate
And society started advancing
Every demographic was represented
It was a rainbow coalition of dancing
Whoa
Everyone was wearing fingerless gloves
Whoah oh
I saw a Spanish guy doing the Bartman
Transport now to an old folks home
Where the elderly are tossed on their brittle bones
The orderlies are stealing, there's no excuse
Everyday for lunch they eat boiled goose
So I grabbed my boombox and hit the turbo base
And what happened next was a total disgrace
Chorus
Everybody started having sex
The music was way too powerful
A bunch of old people fucking like rabbits
It was disgusting to say the least, oh
A boombox can change the world
You gotta know your limits with a boombox
This was a cautionary tale
A boombox is not a toy
