"The way you used your joystick / Has really made my mouse click".

Shake your ass dance with me

Saw you in the disco 
Last night in San Francisco
The way you used your joystick
It really makes my mouse click

Come sit down on my laptop
Lets do a little hip hop
Let's go into a chat room
And do a little boom boom

I saw you in the disco 
Last week in San Francisco
The way you used your joystick

The doctor checked my hard drive
A virus in my archive
My disc was not protected
And now I am infected
