Lyrics

Verse 1
I didn't care about a dance at all
'Til my baby took me to a disco ball.
Everyone, as sharp as they could be -
They were really on a boogie spree.
On the floor, a crowd gathered 'round
A fine young lady who was getting down.

Bridge 1
Before I asked, "Who is she?"
That disco lady took my baby from me.

Refrain 1
They said:
She's the queen of the disco.
Watch her go, go, go, go, go, go...
She's the queen of the disco.

Verse 2
I went in hiding and I learned to move.
I had to teach my body how to groove.
Shook my booty; did the Disco Duck.
I boogied down and learned to chuck.
I don't care if I have to dance all night.
I just can't let her keep my guy without a fight.

Bridge 2
I got to show them just who I am
'Cause, to compete with her, I've got to jam.

Refrain 2
They said:
She's the queen of the disco.
Watch her go, go, go, go, go, go...
She's the queen of the disco.

Bridge 3
Boogie boogie down...
To the Disco Duck...
Ah-ah freeing...
Come on; let's chuck...

Bridge 4
Ooh-ooh-ooh, wooh-hooh...
Shake your booty...

Verse 3
So I went back to the ball again.
Said it's time for me to have my revenge.
Room was filled with that wonderful sound.
Lights were on them; they were getting down.
Before they realized just what I was about
Grabbed me a partner and I turned it out.
My ex came up with a great big grin.
I said, "Don't you ever speak to me again."

Refrain 3
'Cause now I'm the queen of the disco.
Watch me go, go, go, go, go, go...
I'm the queen of the disco.
Watch me boogie 'cross the floor.
I'm the queen; give me the crown.
Watch me go; I'm gettin' down.
Watch, the world, do my stuff;
Give me the beats; can't get enough.
Whoah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oooooooooooooooooooh-oh-oh-ooooooooooooooooooooh-oh!
Queen of the disco!
Whoah-oh-ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh-oh-oh-ooooooooooooooooooooooh-oh-oh-oh-ooooooooh-oooooooooooooooooh!

[Psychological Interpretation:
Once a woman - whether through being victim of circumstance or of her own volition - recognizes her inner-strength enduing her with the capacity to accomplish feats of which she herself never dreamt, the concomitant development of intellect establishes a new set of priorities, by which she not only reveals superhuman abilities for conquering the invincible but acquires the dignity never to deign the condescension of placing herself in the position of being oppressed again...All without blaming or disparaging anyone else.]
