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

Well 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
Do the lurch baby
Do the lurch baby (what)

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 takkies
So I said hey man I'm Peter Feldman's second cousin
Little Jonny Cockeroo
They said come right in, Jonny

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

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 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
One more time
Do the lurch baby

Do the lurch

Do the lurch
