Hey, theyre really dancin
Theyre on auto-destruct
On the floor
On the pipe
Bouncin off-a the wall
Hey, the people here are really
Tearin it up
On the side
In the back
By the front of the stage

They aint really crazy
You can take it from me
I should know
Cause I go
Every time Im in town

If you never tried it
Lemme straighten you out
Its the best kinda place
To unfasten yerself

Mudd club
All the way downtown
Mudd club
They aint messin around
Just turn to the left n look around
Its there somewhere
If you aint found it, better
Hurry up
The folks down theres on auto-destruct
And so can you be too
(Fact of the matter
Its made for you...)
Try it on a saturday bout four oclock in
The mornin
Or even on a monday at midnight
When theres just a few of them
Fabulous poodles
Doin the peppermint twist for real

In black sack dresses with nine inch heels
And then a guy with a blue mohawk comes in

In serious leather..
(And all the rest of whom for which
To whensonever of partially
Indeterminate
Bio-chemical degradation
Seek the path to sudsy yellow nozzle
Of their foaming nocturnal
Parametric digital whole-wheat
Inter-faith
Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta
In serious leather...serious chains
Then they work the wall
N work the floor
N work the pipe
N work the wall some more
In serious leather
In serious chains
In serious clothing
From when they come downtown

From the ruins of studio 54
To twist n frugg
In an arrogant gesture
To the best of what the 20th century has
To offer, at the
Mudd club

Al malkins down there now
Looking for a virgin with nice breath..
(Why, maybe its you..
And you dont even know it!)

Hey, theyre really dancin
Theyre on auto-destruct
On the floor
On the pipe
Bouncin off-a the wall

Hey, the people here are really
Tearin it up
On the side
In the back
By the front of the stage

They aint really crazy
You can take it from me
I should know
Cause I go
Every time Im in town

If you never tried it
Lemme straighten you out
Its the best kinda place
To unfasten yerself

Work the wall
Work the floor
Work the pipe
In serious pain
