Lyrics for I Was Dancing In The Lesbian Bar

Well, I was dancing at a nightclub one Friday night And that nightclub bar was a little uptight Yeah, I was dancing all alone a little self-conscious When some kids came up and said "For dancing, come with us" And soon I was dancing in a lesbian bar, ah-oo, ah-oo I was dancing in a lesbian bar, ooh, ooh, ooh Well, I was dancing in the lesbian bar In the industrial zone I was dancing with my friends And dancing alone Well, the first bar things were alright But in this bar, things were Friday night In the first bar, things were just alright In this bar, things were Friday night I was dancing in a lesbian bar, ah-oo, ah-oo I was dancing in a lesbian bar, ooh, ooh, ooh Well, I was dancing in the lesbian bar Way downtown I was there to check the scene And hang around Well, the first bar things were stop and stare But in this bar, things were laissez-faire In the first bar, things were stop and stare In this bar, things were laissez-faire I was dancing in a lesbian bar, ah-oo, ah-oo I was dancing in a lesbian bar, ooh, ooh, ooh In the first bar, folks were drinking sips But in this bar, they could shake their hips In the first bar, they were drinking sips In this bar, they could shake their hips I was dancing in a lesbian bar, ah-oo, ah-oo I was dancing in a lesbian bar, ooh, ooh, ooh I was dancing in a lesbian bar, ah-oo, ah-oo I was dancing in a lesbian bar, ooh, ooh, ooh Well, in the first bar, things were okay But in this bar, things were more my way In the first bar, things were just okay In this bar, things were done my way I was dancing in a lesbian bar, ah-oo, ah-oo I was dancing in a lesbian bar, ooh, ooh, ooh Well, in the first bar things were controlled But in this bar, things were rock 'n' roll In the first bar, things were so controlled In this bar, things were way way bold I was dancing in a lesbian bar, ah-oo, ah-oo I was dancing in a lesbian bar, ooh, ooh, ooh
