I HATE THE DISCO (R.L. Fish) JOHNNY & THE ROCCOS (Off Beat, 1985)
I dig rhythm, singin' the blues Red hot women and ice cold booze But I hate the disco (we hate the disco) I hate the disco (we hate the disco) It's monkey music, keep it away from me
Give me the country, western swing Blue grass, be-bop, any old thing But I hate the disco (we hate the disco) I hate the disco (we hate the disco) It's monkey music, keep it away from me
Rock 'n' roll, now you're talkin' If it's pop just keep on walkin' Reggae funky or junky punky I don't want it, no-no siree (We don't want it, no-no siree)
Play me a jukebox, loud and clear Give me something I wanna hear 'Cause I hate the disco (we hate the disco) I hate the disco (we hate the disco) It's monkey music, keep it away from me Get on down...
You can sing gospel, razmataz Treat me to skiffle, traditional jazz 'Cause I hate the disco (we hate the disco) Lord, I hate the disco (we hate the disco) It's monkey music, keep it away from me
Rock 'n' roll, now you're talkin' If it's pop just keep on walkin' Reggae punky or junky funky I don't want it, no-no siree (We don't want it, no-no siree)
I dig rhythm, singin' the blues Red hot women and ice cold booze But I hate the disco (we hate the disco) I hate the disco (we hate the disco) It's monkey music, keep it away from me It's skunky music, keep it away from me It's junkie music, get it out of here
