Star Generation |
| Way in the middle of the night, yeah |
| Down in the ghetto, even again, yeah |
| In the mornin', ow |
| Did you ever hear a story |
| About a funky kid Slick? |
| He was raised in the ghetto |
| But he couldn’t dance a lick |
| When he finished school |
| He got a job from 9 to 5, yeah |
| Just walkin' the line |
| Tryin' to stay alive |
| On night on his way home |
| From a hard day at work |
| Heard a funky sound, ow |
| Made his funky feet jerk |
| Came from a field and |
| All those flashing lights |
| And the music set the cold chill |
| Right out of the night |
| (Star generation |
| Sleeping over the land) |
| Funky kid Slick, wanna be |
| (Wants to be a man) |
| Something better than a cotton-picking man |
| (All he ever really wanted, was a |
| Chance to get down) |
| And be a superstar |
| (And be a superstar |
| With the disco, disco, disco crowd) |
| Yeah, let the man do his thing |
| Oh, he stood there and listened, yeah |
| And the beat began to pound |
| And his body was rocking |
| From the funky, funky funky sound |
| So he learned all the dances |
| From the kids on the block, hah! |
| To be the star of the disco |
| Look at him rock |
| Watch him rock |
| Rock-rock-rock-rock-rock, rock, ow! |
| Aaah, watch him rock |
| Watch him rock |
| Make it boogie! |
| Star generation |
| A real dancing machine |
| This finky kid Slick |
| Dances on a solo team |
| All he ever really wanted, was a |
| Chance to get down |
| And be a superstar |

| With the disco, disco, disco crowd) |
| With the disco, disco crowd! |
