Lyrics
[Party Noise][Heavy Bass]
Male Deep Spoken: "Tux on... back's out. [Gasp] I'm already done, baby."
Female Spoken: "MJ is moonwalking! You're just sweating!"
[Verse 1: Male Baritone Sing]
Tuxedo tight, gasping for air [Gasp]
Glitter tangled in my facial hair
I try to spin, I try to jump high
"Oh, my God..." I'm too heavy to fly [Sigh]
[Verse 2: Male Tenor Sing]
He’s gliding fast, a ghost in the dark
(Panting) "Wait for me! Stop the clock!"
Quincy’s strings are soaring way up high
"I'm dying here..." is my only cry
[Pre-Chorus 1: Female Melodic]
The rhythm is a fire [Male: "It's too hot!"]
But my back is heading for the door [Male: "Enough! Enough!"]
Lovely is the feeling, until I try an MJ handstand
[Chorus 1: Call & Response]
Call (Male Baritone Sing): Don’t stop ’til you get...
Res (Female Sing): Enough? "Yes, I've had enough!"
Call (Male Tenor Sing): Keep on with the force...
Res (Female Sing): "But my spine is dust!" [Male: "I need a doctor!"]
[Verse 3: Male Dirty Bass Sing]
Jazz Bass growling in the mud [Wheeze]
"Bernie, slow it down... please..."
Throw some dirt on that MJ shine
"I'm too old for this..." like sour wine
[Verse 4: Male Harmony Sing]
Strat scratches sharp and lean [Sharp inhale]
"My joints... they're screaming..."
Steinberger snapping like a rhythmic trap
"I'm finished..." I need a disco nap [Gasp]
[Verse 5: Male Tenor Sing]
I hear a "Hee-Hee!" in a crystal tone
"Shut up! Leave me alone!" [Groan]
Moonwalking’s easy when you’re thin and light
"My knees are clicking..." in the disco night
[Verse 6: Male Dirty Bass Sing]
Precision Bass thumping in my bones
(Panting) "Is it over yet? Someone?"
MJ's winning every race
"I can't feel my legs... or my face!" [Sigh]
[Bridge 1: MJ Groupie Chaos]
[Screams][Crowd Mania]
Groupies: "MICHAEL! He's so fast! Go Michael!"
MJ FX: "Hee-Hee! Ow! Shamone!"
Male Ad-lib: "Help... I've fallen and I can't get up..."
[Verse 7: Male Baritone Sing]
Left foot, [Gasp] right foot... "Which is which?"
"This tuxedo is a itchy-witch!" [Wheeze]
The tempo’s too fast, the rhythm’s too clean
"I'm the oldest man... you've ever seen!"
[Verse 8: Male Tenor Sing]
Digital world knocking on my head
"I just want to go to bed!" [Panting]
MJ is the future, shining bright
"I'm a funky corpse..." of a Saturday night
[Pre-Chorus 2: Female Melodic]
The force is fading [Male: "I'm seeing stars..."]
I can't keep up with a boy so slim [Male: "Too fast... too fast..."]
Lovely is the feeling... of a comfortable chair
[Chorus 2: Call & Response]
Call (Male Baritone Sing): Don’t stop ’til you get...
Res (Female Sing): Stop! I’m gonna collapse!
Call (Male Tenor Sing): Keep on with the force...
Res (Female Sing): My memory has gaps! [Male: "Where's my cane?"]
[Bridge 2: Heavy P-Funk Instrumental]
[48 Bars: Massive Minimoog Sludge. Heavy dragging groove.]
Male Shout: "It's too heavy! I'm sinking!"
Male Shout: "Enough! No more disco! [Cough]"
[Verse 9: Male Dirty Bass Shout]
"I'm done! I'm sinking deep!" [Gasp]
P-Funk rhythm is the soul we keep
"Enough is enough!" watch the stomp
Old man power in this funky romp!
[Verse 10: Male Baritone Sing]
Knees clicking like a clock [Click-sound]
"I think I broke something... for real."
Crumbling, grey, but I’ll dance [Wheeze]
"Until I collapse..." and fade away [Gasp]
[Verse 11: Male Tenor Shout]
1980! Still in the groove! [Panting]
"Even if my legs... refuse to move!"
MJ has the moon, I have the floor
"I can't take... any more!"
[Pre-Chorus 3: Female Melodic]
The sequins sting [Male: "Is it my blood pressure?"]
I don't know where the magic might begin
Lovely is the feeling... of just letting go
[Chorus 3: Call & Response]
Call (Male Baritone Sing): Don’t stop ’til you get...
Res (Female Sing): Okay, call the ambulance!
Call (Male Tenor Sing): Keep on with the force...
Res (Female Sing): I think my hip just popped!
[Outro]
[Slow Fade][Heavy Breathing]
Male Spoken: "Unzip me... enough... [Wheeze]"
Female Spoken: "Funky grandpa... like a tired raisin."
Male Spoken: "Ow... my life... for a chair..." [Final distant "Hee-Hee"]
