Oh, now tell me where can you party, child, all night long?

In the basement, down in the basement.

Oh, where can you go when your money gets low?

And if a storm is taking place, you can jam and still be safe

In the basement, down in the basement

Where can you dance to any music you choose?

Oh, you got the comforts of home, a nightclub too.

In the basement, down in the basement
