Disco tango

Hun er en stjerne på et dansegulv
Slår John Travolta i en rock 'n' roll
På diskoteket ta'r hun kegler, og der ka' man se
Dem stå i kø og skæve, hver gang hun gør sin entré

Om dagen lever hun et hundeliv
Og dyrker skoleridt som tidsfordriv
Men så når mørket falder på, er hun den, der står af
Hun kræver action, det' det samme hver eneste dag
Hvad mon det er, hun vil ha'?

Disco tango à la carte
Og godt med garniture, flugt og fart
En jockey uden hest, der disc'er op
Med nyt fra USA, soul, reggae eller pop

Bach er lige fedt om dag'n
Beethoven ta'r endnu sin bid af kag'n
Men nat-menuen hedder lidt bizart:
En disco tango à la carte

Disco tango à la carte
Og godt med garniture, flugt og fart
En jockey uden hest, der disc'er op
Med nyt fra USA, soul, reggae eller pop

Bach er lige fedt om dag'n
Beethoven ta'r endnu sin bid af kag'n
Men nat-menuen hedder lidt bizart:
En diѕco tango à la cаrte

Disco tango

She's a star on a dance floor
Beats John Travolta in a rock 'n' roll
At the disco she's scoring, and there you see
Them queue up with an eye on her, every time she enters

In the daytime she's living a dog's life
Practising dressage as a pastime
But when darkness falls, she's the one opting out
She demands action, it's the same every single day
What can it be that she wants?

Disco tango à la carte
And lots of decorations, flight and speed
A jockey without a horse, who dishes up
With news from USA, soul, reggae or pop

Bach is just as cool in the daytime
Beethoven still takes his slice of the cake
But the night menu is a bit bizarre:
A disco tango à la carte

Disco tango à la carte
And lots of decorations, flight and speed
A jockey without a horse, who dishes up
With news from USA, soul, reggae or pop

Bach is just as cool by in the daytime
Beethoven still takes his slice of the cake
But the night menu is a bit bizarre:
A diѕco tango à la cаrte

Disco tango

She loves to dance and always keep control
Like John Travolta in a rock 'n' roll
Night after night, I go to see her at the disco dance
I stop and say hello but she hasn't time for romance

Those ice-cool days, they really hold her down
No place for dancing, there's no disco sound
And when the darkness falls, she'll dance in the red-scented light
She needs the action and it's there in the heat of the night
Oh, what a beautiful sight

Disco tango à la carte
A heavy rock 'n' roll right from the start
A little bit of soul to make you move
The funky you will sing can get it in the groove

Dance and shake your tambourine
And you can be the only disco queen
It's only love and you will lose your heart
To disco tango à la carte

Disco tango à la carte
A heavy rock 'n' roll right from the start
A little bit of soul to make you move
The funky you will sing can get it in the groove

Dance and shake your tambourine
And you can be the only disco queen
It's only love and you will lose your heart
To diѕco tango à la cаrte
