The lonely Island featuring Julian Casablancas

INTRO: F minorFm AbAb BbmBbm C minorCm

VERSE:
F minorFm                AbAb
Imagine in your mind a posh country club
BbmBbm            C minorCm
The stuffy old money where the poor get snubbed
F minorFm         AbAb
The spread is bland, sauerkraut and boiled goose
BbmBbm             C minorCm
There's no way these people will ever cut loose


F minorFm             AbAb
But then I walk in the room, hold my boombox high
BbmBbm         C minorCm
And what happened next will blow your mind

CHORUS:
F minorFm            BbmBbm
Everything got out of control
Eb MajorEb       AbAb   Abmaj7Abmaj7
The music was so entrancing
F minorFm            BbmBbm
Everyone got out on the floor
Eb MajorEb       AbAb        Abmaj7Abmaj7
It was a bunch of old, white people dancing

VERSE:
F minorFm        AbAb
The Big Apple, where people never dance
BbmBbm           C minorCm     Eb MajorEb
Spirits go down while profits expand
F minorFm            AbAb
The cops or the dealers, who's got the juice
BbmBbm                C minorCm
The street vendors peddling their boiled goose

F minorFm              AbAb
So many types of people, they'll never get along
BbmBbm            C minorCm
Till I bust out my boombox and play this song

F minorFm               BbmBbm
The music washed away all the hate
Eb MajorEb        AbAb  Abmaj7Abmaj7
And society started advancing
F minorFm          BbmBbm
Every demographic was represented
Eb MajorEb          AbAb Abmaj7Abmaj7
It was a rainbow coalition of dancing

BRIDGE:
F minorFm BbmBbm    Eb MajorEb         AbAb      Abmaj7Abmaj7
Woah, everyone was wearing fingerless gloves
F minorFm BbmBbm     Eb MajorEb           AbAb Abmaj7Abmaj7
Woah, I saw a Spanish guy doing the Bartman

VERSE:
F minorFm         BbmBbm
Transport now to an old folks home
Eb MajorEb                AbAb   Abmaj7Abmaj7
Where the elderly are tossed on their brittle bones
F minorFm           BbmBbm
The orderlies are stealing, there's no excuse
Eb MajorEb             AbAb
Every day for lunch they eat boiled goose

F minorFm               AbAb
So I grabbed my boombox and hit the turbo bass
BbmBbm         C minorCm     Eb MajorEb
And what happened next was a total disgrace

CHORUS:
F minorFm           BbmBbm
Everybody started having sex
Eb MajorEb          AbAb Abmaj7Abmaj7
The music was way too powerful
F minorFm             BbmBbm
A augmentedA bunch of old people fucking like rabbits
Eb MajorEb            AbAb Abmaj7Abmaj7
It was disgusting to say the least

OUTRO:
F minorFm            BbmBbm
A augmentedA boombox can change the world
Eb MajorEb           AbAb Abmaj7Abmaj7
You gotta know your limits with a boombox
F minorFm          BbmBbm
This was a cautionary tale
Eb MajorEb        AbAb Abmaj7Abmaj7 F minorFm
A augmentedA boombox is not a toy


VERSE:
F minorFm
Now, picture if you will a bunch of businessmen

Stuffed in the boardroom like pigs in a pen

The ties around their necks are like a hangman's noose

In the middle of the table, there's a boiled goose

The old people smell makes you want to puke in the sink

These dudes'll never dance, yeah, that's what you think

I stride in the room all young and hip

Hold up my boombox and say, "Listen to this!"


Then everyone started to move

People rejoiced instead of financing

Your preconceived notions were shattered

By the super old, white people dancing
