Mudd Club Songtext
von Frank Zappa

And here, here we are working everybody up
I hope you recharge yourself ′cause the show's about to begin

Hey, they′re really dancin', they're on auto-destruct
On the floor, on the pipe, bouncin′ off-a the wall
Hey, the people here are really tearin′ it up
On the side, in the back, by the front of the stage
They ain't really crazy, you can take it from me
I should know ′cause I go every time I'm in town
If you never tried it, lemme straighten you out
It′s the best kinda place to unfasten yourself


Mudd Club (all the way downtown)
Mudd Club (they ain't messin′ around)
Mudd Club (just turn to the left and look around)
Because it's there somewhere
If you ain't found it, better hurry up
The folks down there′s on auto-destruct
And so can you be too
The fact of the matter is it′s made for you
Try it on a Saturday 'bout four o′clock in the mornin'
Or even on a Monday at midnight
When there′s just a few of those fabulous Poodles
Doin' the Peppermint Twist for real
In black sack dresses with nine inch heels
And then a guy with a blue mohawk comes in
In Serious Leather
And all the rest of whom for which to when
So ever of partially indeterminate bio-chemical degradation
Seek the path to the sudsy yellow nozzle of their
Foaming nocturnal parametric digital whole-wheat
Inter-faith geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta

In serious Leather, in serious chains
Then they work the wall
They work the pipe
They work the floor
And they work the wall some more
In serious leather
In serious chains
In serious clothing
From when they come downtown
From the ruins of Studio 54
To twist and frugg in an arrogant gesture
To the best of what the 20th Century has to offer

Al Malkin is down there, right now
Looking for a virgin with nice breath
Why, maybe it′s you and you don't even know it


Hey, they're really dancin′, they′re on auto-destruct
On the floor, on the pipe, bouncin' off-a the wall
Hey, the people here are really tearin′ it up
On the side, in the back, by the front of the stage
They ain't really crazy, you can take it from me
I should know ′cause I go every time I'm in town
If you never tried it, lemme straighten you out
It′s the best kinda place to unfasten yourself
