Paradise Garage Lyrics - Singles - Tim Curry

I went down to Paradise Garage 

And took my place in line 

The cashier said 

"Are you alright?" 

I said "I'm feelin' fine" 

I'm a stranger to Nirvana, 

I don't box outside my weight 

But when I stepped out of the taxi 

I did not anticipate this feelin' 

(Oh excuse me, sir 

Oh, no, no, after you) 

Baby's got a dream and she can boogie 

Daddy's got a groove that's coming clean 

Jemie's got a vision of a permanent position 

Me, I'm oiling up my dance machine 

And it goes like this 

And it goes like this 

Well, I'm from Plainsbro, New Jersery, 

And I didn't bring a date 

I guess I wasn't really sure 

If you'd be boogeyin' this late 

I can't think were I put my wallet 

Naive suburban fool 

You wouldn't think that I'd spent hours outside 

French polishing my cool 

And feelin' so strange 

(I said after you 

I'm a gentleman 

Well, by implication) 

Baby's got a dream and she can boogie 

Daddy's got a groove that's comin' clean 

Jemie's got a vision of a permanent position, 

Me, I'm oiling up my dance maching 

And it goes like this 

And it goes like this 

And it goes like this 

And it goes like this 

And it goes like this 

Gotta boogie! 

Baby's got a dream and she can boogie 

Daddy's got a groove that's comin' clean 

Jemie's got a vision, of a permanent position 

Me, I'm oiling up my dance machine 

And it goes like this 

And it goes like this 

And it goes like this 

Well, I really only stepped inside to vary my routine 

You see, I read about this discotheque 

In New York Magazine 

(Hey Baby, 

What's your sign? 

And haven't we met before?) 

I really must suggest 

That we've achieved a rare rapport 

Hit the ceiling 

(Where are you? 

Come on, 

Come on 

You're usually so punctual) 

Gotta boogie 

(Uh, no, I had a little trouble at the door, 

But, anyway, twenty bucks took care of it 

Do you come here a lot? 

Do you have a professional hairdresser or did you do that yourself? 

Oh, well, you must have a lot of free time.) 

Gotta boogie
