Believe me when I tell 'ya I'm nostalgic for that good ol' Atomic Bomb
God knows I miss cross dressin' Annie out there boogieing with Tyrannosaurus Bob

Now it's a cyberdelic world of jet boys and tiger girls
They sold us down the river but the Diamond Light still shimmers from our hearts

Diamond Light
Turn on turn on your light
Diamond Light Boogie sparklin' bright
Shine on shine your light
Sunglass Sam kept you up all night Oh yeah that's right
Bubblegum girls wear their pants too tight
Oh yeah let's go
Let the 21st century roll

Diamond Light
DIAMOND LIGHT
Boogie

They've hit the streets of fire shoved right out of the doorways trippin' out in drag
Here dome the Countess Connie Casserole she's butterflyin' in expensive rags

And then they sniff themselves awake while they do the titty shake
The century is ending it's your last chance to dance to rock 'n roll so come on

Chorus

Shine on Shine on

Boogie
