Disco boy! run to toilet and comb your hair.
Disco boy! pucker your lip, and check your shoulders,
cause some dandruff might be hiding there.

Disco boy, your the disco king, aw the
Disco thing made you think someday that you
Just might go somewhere.

Disco girl, youre outa sight, you need a
Disco boy, to treat you right.
Hell do a little dance, take you home tonight.
Leave his hair alone, but you can kiss his comb.

Disco boy! run to toilet and comb your hair.
Disco boy! shake it more than three times and youre
Playing with it while youre standing there.

Disco boy, do the bump every night, til the disco girl
Whos really right, gonna fall for your line,
And feed you a box full of chicken delight.

Disco chit-chat so demure,
Pump that booty all across the floor.
A disco drink, a disco wink,
You never go duty thats what you think.
You never go duty thats what you think.
You never go duty thats what you think.

Duty. go duty!
Duty. go duty!
Duty. you never go duty.
Duty. you never go duty.
Duty. you never go duty.
Duty. you never go duty.
You never duty. go duty.
Duty. you never duty.

Disco boy! you got one more chance, to comb your hair again.
Disco boy! theyre closing the bar, and shes
Leaving with your friend.

Disco boy, thats the way it goes, so wipe your nose, and
Try it again, to get a little lay tomorrow.

Disco boy, no one understands, but thank the lord that you
Still got hands, to help you do that jerkin thatll
Blot out your disco sorrow.

Its disco love tonight. make sure you look alright.
Its disco love tonight. make sure you look alright.

Answer 2

I have 41 CD's by Frank Zappa. I will go listen to the song and report back to you tomorrow, Friday. If I don't have it, I will go to the downtown library and GET IT. OK? til tomorrow, with my in-depth analysis from a true fan......Trevor.

I NOW HAVE 3 versions of this song. Thinking over coffee now, and combing my hair.

Hmmm. NO, this album was just a simple ROCK album with no serious content other than to MOCK the disco boy's constant attention to his hair and shaking his "thing" not more than 3 times. Perhaps another slur at the CAtholic school rule for boys in the bathroom. Did you go to a Catholic elementary school?

The disco culture was 5 years before the Pop Culture, musically speaking.
This song is found on ZOOT ALLURES, Have I Offended Anyone, and Strictly Commercial. ALL 3 containing just funny lyrics.
The song "Disco Boy" does not mirror anything as you suggest. It is not sung nor played in the Pop culture style, nor address themes such a love, life, party tonight...like all those Wang Chung, Hall & Oats, George Michael, etc pop culture groups of the early '80s.

OK.. back to my coffee and hair combing now.

Answer 3

never heard it, but most of his songs were that way.

not me
