Lyrics
The death of a disco dancer
Well, it happens a lot 'round here
And if you think Peace is a common goal
That goes to show how little you know
The death of a disco dancer
Well, I'd rather not get involved
I never talk to my neighbor
I'd rather not get involved
Love, peace and harmony?
Love, peace and harmony?
Oh, very nice
Very nice
Very nice
Very nice
...But maybe in the next world
Love, peace and harmony?
Love, peace and harmony?
Oh, very nice
Very nice
Very nice
Very nice, very nice
...But maybe in the next world
Maybe in the next world
Maybe in the next world
Love, peace and harmony?
Love, peace and harmony?
Oh, very nice
Very nice
Very nice
...But maybe in the next world
Maybe in the next world
The next world
The next world
The death of a disco dancer
The death of a disco dancer
The death of a disco dancer
