Nineteen Seventy Nine
Words and Music by Rich La Bonté

My baby called me on the telephone
Said let's go dancin' when the moon is high
Put on your spandex and your shoulderpads
A little glitter and we'll really fly.

I said no
She said yes
She said you'd better move out on the floor
I said no
She said yes
We gonna dance til our feet get sore
I said I'm way too old for this stuff
She said you dance or I'm gonna get rough
I said no
She said yes
You better party like it's nineteen seventy nine.

We took a taxi to the local dive
Paid twenty dollars just to get inside
The band on stage was loopin' synthesiser noise
Nobody dancin' cause it sounded so jive.

(Break)
I said I'm way too old for this stuff
She said you dance or I'm gonna get rough
I said no
She said yes
You better party like it's nineteen seventy nine.

We found a club with a DJ man
My baby asked him for The Jackson Five
She want KC and The Sunshine Band
Boney M, Sister Sledge and Bee Gee's Stayin' Alive.

I said no
She said yes
She said you'd better move out on the floor
I said no
She said yes
We gonna dance til our feet get sore
I said I'm way too old for this stuff
She said you dance or I'm gonna get rough
I said no
She said yes
You better party like it's nineteen seventy nine. (Break)
