The Electric Spanking of War Babies Songtext

{spoken}
Hi there (hi, are you talking to me? What is that?)
You probably don't remember me, right? (no, I don't remember you)
Ah-ha, but I remember you (what's that? I don't?)
You probably won't believe this, but, uh
I, at the early age of seventeen
Was adopted by aliens hahahah (hahahaha)
Was adopted by aliens hahahah (hahahaha, oh god)
That's right, I said aliens (ahh)
They have long since programmed me
To return with this message

{sung}
When you learn to dance
You won't forget it
Ooh, if you learn to dance
You won't forget it

When you learn to dance
You won't forget it
(x2)

You can walk a mile in my shoes
But you can't dance a step in my feet
(x2)

You stand a chance
You can dance, ooh-ooh
(x2)

It's shocking to find (sock it to the circuit)
That your mind (sock it to the circuit)
And your behind (sock it to the circuit)
Gets a spanking in time

Sock it to the circuit
Dead it in addition?

We compute a perfect funk

You can walk a mile in my shoes
But you can't dance a step in my feet
(x2)

It's a bummer to find
That your mind
And your behind
Gets exploded in time

The electric spanking of war babies (x4)

Oh it's shocking to find
That your mind
And your behind (electric)
Will get a spanking in due time (spanking of war babies)

You've seen the bomb (electric)
Vietnam (spanking of)
LSD (war babies)
You've seen the ?
You've seen DNA
Watch them go to the moon
Live on TV

Sock it to the circuit
We compute a perfect funk
Digital?
We compute a perfect funk

You can dance, ooh-ooh

It's shocking to find
That your mind
Like your behind
Gets a spanking in time (spanking in time)

Sock it to the circuit

You've seen the bomb
Vietnam
LSD
You've seen the ?
You've seen DNA
Watch them go to the moon
Live on TV

Electric spanking of war babies

Sock it to the circuit
Dead it in addition?
We compute a perfect funk

Electric spanking of war babies (x3)

We compute a funky funk
We compute a perfect funk

Electric spanking of war babies (x7)
