Lyrics[]

Well, I heard about this new disco
I really wanted to dance, hey
But when I, I phoned up my honey
She kept talking to me about this other man
Well, it really made me mad

And I felt real bad
In the queue at the bottle store
Because I bought too much red wine, baby
By the time I walked out that door

And if you see
A DJ on his knees
And if you see
The DJ misery
Come on

Oh, do the lurch, baby, yeah
Do the lurch, baby
Do the lurch, baby, what
Do the lurch, baby

Well, I got to the door of that disco
But they didn't let me in
You know that place was called Q's
I had no shoes on, just some fifty-five rand tackies

So I said, "Hey, man
I'm Peter Feldman's second cousin
Little Jonny Cockeroo"
They said, "Come right in, Johnny"

And I lurched through the doors
And I was looking at those flashing lights
And I lurched against the walls
And I lurched against the floors
All right, yeah

And if you see
The DJ misery
And if you see
The DJ on his knees
Come on

Yeah, do the lurch, baby
Do the lurch, baby

Now, there's a DJ playing records
And he's really feeling blue
Because, because you were his girlfriend, honey
Till I lurched into you
That night at Q's
I hope you remember it well

There's a DJ playing records
And he's really feeling blue
Because, because you were his girlfriend, baby
Till I lurched into you
That night at Q's
I hope you remember it well, yeah

And if you see
The DJ on his knees
And if you see
The DJ misery

Come on
Do the lurch, baby, baby
One more time
Do the lurch, baby, hey

Do the lurch
