Capo 1
Intro: Em G Am B5 D
Em G
Imagine in your mind a posh country club
Am B5 D
The stuffy old money where the poor get snubbed
Em G
The spread is bland sauerkraut and boiled goose
Am B5 D
There's no way these people will ever cut loose
Em G
But then I walk in the room, hold my boombox high
Am B5 D
And what happened next, will blow your mind
Chorus:
Em Am
Everything got outta control
D G D/F#
The music was so entrancing
Em Am
Everyone got out on the floor
D G D/F#
It was a bunch of old white people dancing
Em G
The Big Apple, where people never dance
Am B5 D
Spirits go down while profits expand
Em G
The cops or the dealers, who's got the juice
Am B5 D
The street benders peddling their boiled goose
Em G
So many types of people will never get along
Am B5 D
Till I bust out my boombox and play this song
Chorus:
Em Am
The music washed away all the hate
D G D/F#
And society started advancing
Em Am
Every demographic was represented
D G D/F#
It was a rainbow coalition of dancing
Em Am
Whoa
D G D/F#
Everyone was wearing fingerless gloves
Em Am
Whoah oh
D G D/F#
I saw a Spanish guy doing the Bartman
Em G
Transport now to an old folks home
Am B5 D
Where the elderly are tossed on their brittle bones
Em G
The orderlies are stealing, there's no excuse
Am B5 D
Everyday for lunch they eat boiled goose
Em G
So I grabbed my boombox and hit the turbo base
Am B5 D
And what happened next was a total disgrace
Chorus:
Em Am
Everybody started having sex
D G D/F#
The music was way too powerful
Em Am
A bunch of old people fucking like rabbits
D G D/F#
It was disgusting to say the least, oh
Em Am
A boombox can change the world
D G D/F#
You gotta know your limits with a boombox
Em A
This was a cautionary tale
D G D/F#
A boombox is not a toy
Em G Am B5 D
Em
