[Verse 1]
The fifties had their rock and roll,
The sixties had their scene,
The Beatles and the protest songs,
And everything in between.
Then here we came in bell-bottoms,
With collars wide and long,
Button up or leave it open,
Man, you couldn't go wrong.
I had one pair of platform shoes,
I thought they made me tall,
Looking back I have to wonder
How I ever walked at all.
[Chorus]
Far out! Right on! Can you dig it?
Groovy, baby, all night long!
Boogie down beneath the mirror ball,
Come on everybody, sing along!
We were jive turkeys, cool cats,
Dancing like there was nothing wrong,
Turn the record over, crank it up—
We were gonna boogie all night long!
[Verse 2]
The Bee Gees had us moving,
With the rhythm in the air,
Polyester on our backs
And feathers in our hair.
The DJ spun the records,
The roller rink was bright,
And every Saturday evening
We were looking for a night.
We'd say, "Can you dig it?"
And somebody'd holler, "Right on!"
We didn't know what half meant,
But we knew how to sing along.
[Chorus]
Far out! Right on! Can you dig it?
Groovy, baby, all night long!
Boogie down beneath the mirror ball,
Come on everybody, sing along!
We were jive turkeys, cool cats,
Dancing like there was nothing wrong,
Turn the record over, crank it up—
We were gonna boogie all night long!
[Verse 3]
Saturday Night Live was new,
And Belushi stole the show,
We watched those crazy characters
And laughed till we couldn't go.
Bruce Lee was kicking bad guys,
Godzilla stomped the town,
And every Saturday movie night
We were settling in for another round.
Then came that galaxy far away,
And suddenly we knew
That the seventies had some magic
In the things we loved to do.
[Chorus]
Far out! Right on! Can you dig it?
Groovy, baby, all night long!
Boogie down beneath the mirror ball,
Come on everybody, sing along!
We were jive turkeys, cool cats,
Dancing like there was nothing wrong,
Turn the record over, crank it up—
We were gonna boogie all night long!
[Verse 4]
There were eight-tracks in the dashboard,
And records on the floor,
We'd wait beside the radio
To hear our favorite song once more.
The clothes were kinda crazy,
The slang was even worse,
But somehow all those silly things
Became a part of us.
Now the years have come and gone,
And I laugh when I recall
Those platform shoes and disco lights,
And that giant collar after all.
Maybe we looked ridiculous,
But brother, we had fun—
And every time that old beat plays,
I'm seventeen again.
[Final Chorus]
Far out! Right on! Can you dig it?
Groovy, baby, all night long!
Boogie down beneath the mirror ball,
Come on everybody, sing along!
We were jive turkeys, cool cats,
And maybe we were doing it wrong,
But turn the record over, crank it up—
We were gonna boogie all night long!
[Outro]
Far out...
Right on...
Can you dig it?
Boogie all night long!
