there's a steel train comin' through
I would take it if I could
and I would not lie to you
because Sunday mornin' soon will come
when things will be much easier to say
upon the microphone like a boss DJ[1]
but I won't walk up upon the sea like it was dry land
a boss DJ he ain't nothin' but a man
no trouble no fuss[2], I know why...
it's so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice
it's so nice don't wanna hear the same song twice [3]
rumors are spreading all over my town
but it's just stones and sticks
'cuz on the microphone is where I go to get my fix
just let the lovin' take a hold, cuz it will if you let it
I'm funky, not a junkie but I know where to get it
no trouble no fuss, I know why...
it's so nice I wanna hear the same song twice
it's so nice I wanna hear the same song twice
ooo-ee girl
ooo-ee girl
ooo-ee girl
ooo-ee girl, and there really ain't no time to waste
really ain't no time to hate
ain't got no time to waste, time to hate
really ain't no time to make the time go away
so mister DJ, don't stop the music[4]
I wanna know
are you feelin' the same way too? [5]
I wanna rock it with you girl [6]
you girl, you girl, oooooo
don't stop
'cuz it's so nice I wanna hear the same song twice
it's so nice I wanna hear the same song twice
nowadays the songs on the radio all
all drive me crazy
