In up above my head, I hear music in the air That makes me know there's a party somewhere Burn, baby, burn Burn, baby, burn To my surprise, one hundred storeys high People getting loose, y'all, they're getting down on the roof Folks are screaming out of control, it was so entertaining When that boogie-woogie started to explode I heard somebody say (Burn, baby, burn) Disco Inferno, burn that mother down (Burn, baby, burn) Disco Inferno, burn that mother down Satisfaction came in a chain reaction I couldn't get enough, so I had to self-destruct The heat was on and it was rising to the top Everybody's going strong that is when my spark got hot I heard somebody say (Burn, baby, burn) Disco Inferno, burn that mother down (Burn, baby, burn) Disco Inferno, burn that mother down Burn it on down Satisfaction came in a chain reaction I couldn't get enough, so I had to self-destruct The heat was on, it was rising to the top Everybody's going strong, that is when my spark got hot I heard somebody say (Burn, baby, burn) Disco Inferno, burn that mother down (Burn, baby, burn) Disco Inferno, burn that mother down Burn it on down Burn, baby, baby, won't you burn, burn Burn, burn And burn, baby let the good times roll with me
On a cold and gray Chicago morn A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto And if there's one thing that you don't need It's another hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto People, don't you understand That the child don't need a helping hand in the ghetto And a hungry little boy with a runny nose Plays in the street as the cold wind blows in the ghetto So he starts to roam the streets at night And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto And then he buys a gun and he steals a car And he drives away but he don't get far in the ghetto As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man Face down on the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto And his momma cries Oh, baby, baby, burn that disco down You're gonna burn, you're gonna burn You're gonna burn, burn, burn burn Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn (Burn, baby, burn) Disco Inferno, burn that mother down (Burn, baby, burn) Disco Inferno, burn that mother down (Burn baby burn) Disco Inferno, burn that mother down (Burn baby burn) Disco Inferno, burn that mother down Burn it down Let the good times roll Get us loose as a goose Up above my head, I hear music in the air
