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
