Dancin' Fool

In the mid 60s "Freak Out", a double album, snuck onto the charts. It was the debut of Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention. The band has gone through considerable changes throughout the years and included such muscians as jazz violinist Jean-Luc Ponty and singers Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan from the Turtles who used the stage names "The Phlorescent Leech and Eddie". Dancin Fool is from yet another incarnation of the Mothers and off 1979's Sheik Yerbouti . The song is Zappa's commentary on the-then disco scene



Dont know much about dancin

Thats why I got this song

One of my legs is shorter than the other

and both my feets too long

course now right along with em

I got no natural rhythm

But I go dancin every night

Hopin one day I might get it right

Im a dancin fool, Im aDancin fool

I hear that beat;

I jump outa my seat,

But I can't compete,

cause Im aDancin fool, Im aDancin fool

The disco folks all dressed up

Like theys fit to kill

I walk on in and see em there

Gonna give them all a thrill

When they see me comin

They all steps aside

They has a fit while I commit

My social suicide,

Im aDancin fool, Im aDancin fool

The beat goes on

And Im so wrong

The beat goes on

And Im so wrong

The beat goes on

and Im so wrong

The beat goes on and Im so wrong

The beat goes on

and Im so wrong

I may be totally wrong,

but Im aDancin fool,

Im aDancin fool

Youwsa, youwsa, youwsaI got it all together now

With my very own disco clothes, hey!

My shirts half open, to show you my chains

and the spoon for up my nose

I am really somethin

Thats what you'd probly say

So smoke your little smoke

Drink your little drink

While I dance the night away,

Im aDancin fool, Im aDancin fool, (etc., etc.)
