Babylon Zoo

I was a city child with a dead-end smile

A worms-eye point of view

I knew my way, I was a back-street stray

I had my eyes on you

Now I got this friend, he's a screwdriver-jiver

You know some kind of automobeat on the street

And he has converted me to rock 'n' roll

Now I just wanna dance to, Honaloochie boogie, yeah

Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine

Honaloochie boogie yeah, you sure started something

Honaloochie boogie, yeah, get in time,

Don't worry 'bout the shirt shine

Honaloochie boogie yeah, you sure started something

My hair gets longer as the beat gets stronger

Wanna tell Chuck Berry my news

Now I get my kicks outta guitar licks

I've sold my steel-toed shoes

Now I got this friend and he's a spider west-sider

You know, he's hung up on a protection rejection thing

But I have made him see the light

He just wanna dance to, Honaloochie boogie, yeah

Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine

Honaloochie boogie yeah, you sure started something

Honaloochie boogie, yeah, get in time,

Don't worry 'bout the shirt shine

Honaloochie boogie yeah, you sure started something

Honaloochie boogie yeah, get in time,

Don't worry 'bout the shirt shine

Honaloochie boogie yeah, you sure started something

Honaloochie boogie, yeah...

I imagine we'll be hearing your first successful single in the charts soon then....shortly followed by a successful second single and a platinum album. Don't forget to post it to youtube when you do...frankly we could all do with something to laugh at. ;-)

@ all the negative comments: self pro claimed genius. No. But considering he had a music career and Is now a CEO of a successful company, seems like he's doing and has probably accomplished a lot more than you, or what you could ever do in your whole life. Tosser.

Thanks for posting Babylon's music. The world don't know so much about this album, but King Kong Groover is one of the best album of last nineties music.-
