Tropical hot dog night
Like two flamingoes in a fruit fight
Ev'ry colour of day
Whirlin' around at night
I'm playin' this music
So the young girls will come out
To meet the monster tonight
Tropical hot dog night
Like two flamingoes in a fruit fight
I don't wanna know 'bout wrong or right
I don't want to know
- i'm anywhere tonight
Tropical hot dog night
Like two flamingoes in a fruit fight
Like steppin' out of a triangle
Into striped light
Striped light, striped light
Tropical hot dog night
- everything's wrong, at the same time it's right
The truth has no patterns for me tonight
I'm playing this music so the young girls will come out
To meet the monster tonight
Meet the monster tonight
What do all you women do
When the men get tropical hot dog payday?
What do you do on tropical hot dog day day?
Yay; yay
Step out of a triangle into striped light
Turn around and step back into striped light
Tropical hot dog night
I'm playin' this song
For all the young girls to come out to meet the monster tonight
Meet the monster tonight
How would you like to be the lucky girl,
The lucky one?
- to be the monster tonight
Ow, to be the monster tonight
Oh, everything's wrong, at the same time it's white!
You get to be - you get to be - with me
And also to be the monster tonight
