<i>[The Lonely Island]</i> <br>

Imagine in your mind a posh country club <br>

The stuffy old money where the poor kid's snubbed <br>

The spread is bland sauerkraut and boiled goose <br>

There's no way these people will ever cut loose <br>

<br>

But then I walk in the room, hold my boombox high <br>

And what happened next, will blow your mind <br>

<br>

<i>[Julian Casablancas]</i> <br>

Everything got outta control <br>

The music was so undressing <br>

Everyone got out on the floor <br>

It was a bunch of old white people dancing <br>

<br>

<i>[The Lonely Island]</i> <br>

Now picture if you will a bunch of business men <br>

Stuffed in the boardroom like pigs in a pen <br>

The ties around the necks are like a hangman's noose <br>

In the middle of the table theres a boiled goose <br>

<br>

The old people smell makes you want to puke in the sink <br>

These dudes will never dance yeah that's what you think <br>

I stride in the room all young and hip <br>

Hold up my boombox and say listen to this <br>

<br>

<i>[Julian Casablancas]</i> <br>

Then everyone started to move <br>

People rejoiced instead of financing <br>

Your preconcieved notions were shattered <br>

By the super old white people dancing <br>

<br>

<i>[The Lonely Island]</i> <br>

The big apple, where people never dance <br>

Spirits go down while profits expand <br>

The cops or the dealers, who's got the juice <br>

The street benders peddling their boiled goose <br>

<br>

So many types of people will never get along <br>

Till I bust out my boombox and play this song <br>

<br>

<i>[Julian Casablancas]</i> <br>

The music washed away all the hate <br>

And society started advancing <br>

Every demographic was represented <br>

It was a rainbow coalition of dancing <br>

Whoa! <br>

Everyone was wearing fingerless gloves <br>

Whoaaaaaoaaaaaoh! <br>

I saw a spanish guy doing the Bartman <br>

<br>

<i>[The Lonely Island]</i> <br>

Transport now to an old folks home <br>

Where the elderly are tossed on their brittle bones <br>

The orderlies are stealing there's no excuse <br>

Everyday for lunch they eat boiled goose <br>

<br>

So I grabbed my boombox and hit the turbo bass <br>

And what happened next was a total disgrace <br>

<br>

<i>[Julian Casablancas]</i> <br>

Everybody started having sex <br>

The music was way too powerful <br>

A bunch of old people fucking like rabbits <br>

It was disgusting to say the least <br>

Oh! <br>

A boombox can change the world <br>

You gotta know your limits with a boombox <br>

This was a cautionary tale <br>

A boombox is not a toy<br>

<BR><BR>

<BR>
