[Verse 1]
How do you spell relief? S-E-X!
Say what?
How do you spell relief? S-E-X!
Y'all spell it right now
How do you spell relief? S-E-X!
All right, y'all
How do you spell relief? S-E-X!
Well, tell me this
Who gon' give you relief? Mr. T-E-X!
Say what?
Who gon' give you relief? Mr. T-E-X!
Let me ask you this
How you gon' get your relief? In a discotheque!
Say it again
Where you gon' get your relief? In a discotheque!
Hey!
Well
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Now when you come into a disco
You ain't comin' to stand around, no-no
You just grab yourself a partner
And you go 'head and get on down
'Cause when you come in and don't do nothin'
Folks will think that you're stuck-up
Then when you're tryin' to rap to somebody
You will find yourself out of luck, oh
You can't afford not to move when the music is droppin', Lord
'Cause everybody in the disco
Will know that you ain't doin' nothin' but jumpin'
[Verse 3]
The DJ plays his records
He ain't playin' them so he can groove, no-no
He plays them loud and funky
And he wants you to get up and move
But if you're gonna sit there and cool it
Then you might as well get up and leave
You see, the music ain't doin' nothin' for you
Because you're too damn hard to please, ho!
You can't afford not to move when the music is droppin'
Everybody in the disco will know that you ain't doin' nothin' but jumpin'
[Verse 4]
And this ain't nothin' but a Joe Tex party, come on
You spell my name, ha, S-E-X, babe!
This ain't nothin' but a Joe Tex party, come on
How you spell my name, ha, S-E-X, babe!
This ain't nothin' but a Joe Tex party, come on
How you spell my name, S-E-X, dog!
This ain't nothin' but a Joe Tex party, come on
How you spell my name, S-E-X, yeah!
[Outro]
Party, go on and go
Y'all cannot move, that's all to do
Ain't nothin' but a party, that's all it is
That's all it is, that's all it is
Well-well-well, lo-ho-ho-Lord
That's all, that's all it is
Right on groovin', that's right
And you're gonna do it, ha-ha ho!
Well-well, everybody have a good time
You back there, that beat sure is funky
Kick it, come on
Uh-huh, well-well
Well-well
Boogaloo, that disco do
Hoo-right
