Chords with lyrics
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
