Night time on the city  
Baby feels the beat  
Slick and sexy angel of the street  
The queen of all the night birds watch her when she walks  
She don’t say nothing but  
Baby makes her blue jeans talk

Money talks  
But it don’t sing and dance  
And it don’t walk  
Long as I can have you  
Here with me, I’d much rather be  
Forever in blue jeans

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady  
Seamstress for the band  
Pretty-eyed, pirate smile  
You’ll marry a music man

I got a freaky old lady named a Cocaine Katy  
Who embroiders on my jeans  
I got my poor old gray-haired daddy  
Driving my limousine

We used to ride, baby  
Ride around in limousines  
We looked so fine, baby  
You in white and me in green  
Drinking and dancing  
All inside our crazy dream  
Well, now look at your face now, baby  
Look at you and look at me

But every song’s like  
Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin’ in the bathroom  
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin’ the hotel room  
We don’t care  
We’re driving Cadillacs in our dreams  
But everybody’s like  
Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece  
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash  
We don’t care  
We aren’t caught up in your love affair

Torture is the main attraction  
I don’t need that kind of action  
You don’t have to dance for me  
I’ve seen your dance before  
Do you throw out your gold teeth  
Do you see how they roll

Dance, dance dance when you hear that beat  
Dance, dance dance get up off of your seat  
Dance, dance dance let your back bone slip  
Let’s go to the place on the Sunset Strip

Oh, baby come on, let me take you where the action is.  
Oh, baby come on, let me take you where the action is.  
Oh, baby come on, let me take you where the action is.  
It’s so neat to meet ya baby where the action is.

When I feel put down I try to shake it off quick  
With my chick by my side the radio does the trick  
I love to dance _(Dance dance dance now the beat’s really hot)_  
Right on the spot _(Dance dance dance right there on the spot)_  
The beat’s really hot _(Dance dance dance now the beat’s really hot)_  
Dance _(dance)_  
Dance _(dance)_  
Dance _(dance)_  
Yeah!

My grandpa, he’s 95  
And he keeps on dancin’  
He’s still alive  
My grandma, she’s 92  
She loves to dance  
And sing some, too  
I don’t know  
But I’ve been told  
If you keep on dancing  
You’ll never grow old  
Come on darling  
Put a pretty dress on  
We’re gonna go out tonight

Well, I want a girl who’s built real fat  
Kenny don’t like to see 'em like that  
But I like to see 'em big and tall  
The bigger they come the harder they fall  
It ain’t the meat it’s the motion  
That makes your daddy wanna rock  
It ain’t the meat it’s the motion  
It’s the movement it isn’t the stock

That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist  
And a round thing in your face

July the second, it was nineteen sixty-three  
I was servin’ time for armed robbery  
Four o’clock in the mornin’, I was layin’ back in my cell  
I heard the whistle blow then I heard somebody yell

There’s a riot goin’ on  
There’s a riot goin’ on  
There’s a riot goin’ on  
Down in cell block number 9
