Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alright now, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Music's loud and women warm
I've been kicked around since I've been born
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everyone is shakin'
And stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ha, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive
Everybody on the dance floor, darlin's
We're goin' to dance with the Devil
Well, I get low and I get high
And if I can't get either, I really try
Got the wings of Heaven on my shoes
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose
Now, it's all right, it's okay
I'll live to see another day
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everyone is shakin'
They're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ha, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ha, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive
It's all right, it's okay
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man
It's all right, it's okay
I'll live to see another day
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man
Are you ready, Disco Man
Oh, yeah, all right now
I'm back

Ozzy Osbourne covering this song is the greatest compliment the Beegees could ever receive.
@bazilwreckerloughead
BEST version I've ever herd! But I think Ozzy could sing the phone book & sound good!!
@robgraves7081
Nicely put!!!
@rastiga9196
I just found this today after 43 years of life, my life has been a lie!
@grunkster
I can only imagine the recording studio during this recording. Dweez and Ozzy in the same room is something I'd love to see.

I never believed anyone could ever cover ANY BeeGees song. You will just never replace their sound... Barry Gibbs voice, etc. That said, wow, i’m blown totally away. by this!! I Never thought a BeeGees song could rock like this!!
@66Sixxy
You should listen to the Foo Fighters as Dee Gees. They do an amazing job. They also have a video of them, dressed in 70s disco garb, trolling the Westboro Baptist Church idiots who came to KC to protest them, again.
