Make a brother feel like him down at the disco
And we gonna keep it going like crisco
'Cause the DJ grab the record by the fist full
By the crate full, and we grateful
When you hear the stuff of records get a tasteful
(Last night the DJ saved my life)
'Cause of the collection of the records he played (played)
To the direction of the record we swayed (swayed)
And all night through the session we stayed (stayed)
