SISTER OWL-GONKWIN-JANE COW-HOON:
And here we are, At the Mudd Club,
y'all! I hope you enjoy yourself,
'Cause the show's about to begin!

ENSEMBLE:
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 un-fasten yerself!

ENSEMBLE: (contd.)

Just turn to the left 'n 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! (De fact o'
de matter, it's MADE FOR YOU!)

Try it on a Saturday 'Bout four
o'clock in the mornin', Or even a
Monday, At midnight, When there's
just a few Of them severely ignint
white folks Doin' the Peppermint
Twist (for real)

In a black sack dress, (With
nine-inch heels), And then a guy With
a BLUE MOHAWK come in, In Serious
Leather...

(And all the rest Of whom For which
To when-so-never Of partially
indeterminate Biochemical degradation
SEEK 'THE PATH' To the sudsy yellow
nozzle Of their Foaming nocturnal
Parametric-digital
Whole-wheat/inter-faith Geo-thermal
Terpsichorean Ejectamenta)

In Serious Leather! In Serious Chains!

'N Den dey works de wall! Dey works
de floor! Dey works de pipe! 'N dey
works de wall SOME MORE!

In Serious Leather! Serious Chains! Serious Clothing!
