statin' alive Songtext
von Dweezil Zappa

Hey Doc, why don′t you try this one a little bit country?
Shut up, Dweezil
Everyone knows I'm a little bit rock and roll
Oh, yeah

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I′m a woman's man, no time to talk
Music loud, women warm
I'm been kicked around since I was born

It′s alright and it′s okay
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you′re a mother
You're stayin′ alive, staying' alive
Feel the city breaking and everybody shaking
They′re staying alive, staying alive
Ah-ha-ha-ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ha-ha-ha-ha, stayin′ alive, ooh


Yeah-yeah, oh-ho
Now I get low and I get high
If I can′t get either, I really try
Got the wings of Heaven on my shoes
I'm a dancing man and I can′t lose

(It's alright, it′s okay)
I'll live to see another day
(We can try to understand)
(The New York Times′ effect on man)

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You′re stayin′ alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin′ and everybody shakin'
And we′re staying alive, staying alive
Ah-ha-ha-ha, stayin' alive, stayin′ alive
Ah-ha-ha-ha, stayin' alive, ooh-ooh

It's alright, it′s okay
And you may look the other way (yeah, baby)
We can try to understand
The New York Times′ effect on man

It's alright, it′s okay (it's alright, it′s okay)
And you may look the other way (oh, yeah)
We can try to understand
The new York Times' effect on man
Oh, take it away


This ain′t no fuckin' up, baby

Good night, everybody
