Johnny was a singer, how he longed for the big time
Nobody wanted to know
Then came a chance to perform for all the beautiful people
He'd really give 'em a show

Took the stage like a star as they talked at the bar
His disco couldn't move them at all
No, they wouldn't dance to the music, dance to the music
Their studied cool versus his everything

chorus
It was the death of a thousand disinterested chattering fashionistas
It was the death of a thousand disinterested chattering fashionistas

Well, Johnny wasn't finished, gave a little bit more now
He really let it all go
Shone like he'd never before, but still his starry eyes saw how
They wouldn't listen, oh no

With his heart sinking deep, the anger started to creep up
Insisting he get to them somehow
'Cause if they wouldn't dance to the music, dance to the music
He'd have to leave his mark with just anything

repeat chorus

Oh

And this is where the disco boy gets his revenge
Gets his revenge, all the while singing it
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba-ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba-ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba-ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba-ba

He was the death of a thousand disinterested chattering fashionistas
He was the death of a thousand disinterested chattering fashionistas
He was the death of a thousand disinterested chattering fashionistas
He was the death of a thousand disinterested chattering fashionistas, oh

All the while singing it
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba-ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba-ba
