Stayin'Alive
Ozzy Osbourne & Dweezil Zappa Lyrics
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

Dweezil originally recorded this for his 1991 album Confessions of a Deprived Youth, with Donny Osmond singing the lead. This version uses the same music track but with new vocals.

@jamcam9 Ahh, that's interesting.

@zakalwe101 from what I understand this is the original that was recorded for that album, but Ozzy's label blocked it so Donny was brought in last minute.
