Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Burn, baby, burn
Burn, baby, burn
Burn, baby, burn
Burn, baby, burn
(Do you?)
[Verse 2]
To my surprise, listen
One hundred stories high
People gettin' loose, y'all
We gettin' down on the roof, lemme hear
The funk was flamin'
Out of control
It was so entertainin'
When the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say
[Verse 3]
(Burn, baby, burn) Disco inferno
(Burn, baby, burn) Burn the mother down
(Burn, baby, burn) Disco inferno, yeah
(Burn, baby, burn) Burn the mother down
(Do you?)
[Verse 4]
Satisfaction (Doo-doo-doo)
Came in a chain reaction (Burnin')
I couldn't get enough
Till I had to self-destruct (Doo-doo-doo)
The heat was on (Burnin')
Risin' to the top, mmm
Everybody goin' strong (Doo-doo-doo)
That is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say
[Verse 5]
(Burn, baby, burn) Disco inferno
(Burn, baby, burn) Burn that mother down, y'all
(Burn, baby, burn) Disco inferno, yeah
(Burn, baby, burn) The mother down
(Do you?)
[Verse 6]
(Up above my head, I hear music in the air) I heard music
(That makes me know there's a party somewhere)
[Verse 7]
Satisfaction, mmm
Came in a chain reaction, let me hear
I couldn't get enough
So I had to self-destruct, mmm
The heat was on
Risin' to the top, mmm
Everybody goin' strong
That is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say
[Verse 8]
(Burn, baby, burn) Disco inferno
(Burn, baby, burn) Burn that mother down
(Burn, baby, burn) Disco inferno, yeah
(Burn, baby, burn) Burn the mother down, get it
(Burn, baby, burn) Ah, hey
(Burn, baby, burn) Burn the mother down
(Burn, baby, burn) Disco inferno
(Burn, baby, burn) Burn that mother down
(Do you?)
[Verse 9]
Ow, mmm
[Verse 10]
Just can't stop
When my spark gets hot
Just can't stop
When my spark gets hot
[Verse 11]
Burnin', burnin'
Burnin', burnin'
Burnin', burnin'
Burnin', burnin'
Burnin', burnin'
Burnin', burnin'
Burnin', burnin'
Burnin', burnin'
Burnin', burnin'
Burnin', burnin'
Burnin', burnin'
Burnin', burnin'
[Verse 12]
I wanted you, you understand what I'm talkin' about?
I'm not talkin' about burnin' down a building
It's comin' from the soul (I just can't stop)
So fine (When my spark gets hot)
Burnin' in my soul, mmm (Just can't stop)
Ow, now listen (When my spark gets hot)
Don't you rescue me, mmm (Just can't stop)
Let my spirit burn free (When my spark gets hot)
Don't you rescue me, no (Just can't stop)
Let my spirit burn free (When my spark gets hot)
[Verse 13]
Everybody say, ow (Ow)
Say, ow (Ow)
You feel the spirit, say, ow (Ow)
Disco inferno (Ow)
Come on, here on the floor, uh
Let's watch some more
[Verse 14]
Huh, I'm on fire (Burnin', burnin')
I'm on fire (Burnin', burnin')
Let the good times roll (Burnin', burnin')
Ah, yeah, mmm, Lord, have mercy (Burnin', burnin')
Ha, you know I feel alright (Burnin', burnin')
Feel pretty good, you know (Burnin', burnin')
People gettin' loose, mmm (Burnin', burnin')
Gettin' down on the groove, yes, here, ah (Burnin', burnin')
The flame is higher, mmm (Burnin', burnin')
It's higher (Burnin', burnin')
Ah, fire, mmm (Burnin', burnin')
Lord, have mercy
[Verse 15]
I can't get enough (Burnin', burnin')
I want some more, mmm (Burnin', burnin')
I want some more (Burnin', burnin')
I'm burnin' (Burnin', burnin')
I'm burnin' (Burnin', burnin')
Burnin' in the soul, y'all (Burnin', burnin')
(Burnin', burnin')
(Burnin', burnin')
(Burnin')
[Verse 16]
I just can't stop
When my spark gets hot
I just can't stop
When my spark gets hot
Just can't stop
When my spark gets hot
I just can't stop
When my spark gets hot
Just can't stop
When my spark gets hot
I just can't stop
When my spark gets hot
Just can't stop
When my spark gets hot
Just can't stop
When my spark gets hot
I just can't stop
When my spark gets hot
Just can't stop
When my spark gets hot
[Verse 17]
(Burn, baby, burn) Disco inferno
(Burn, baby, burn) Burn that mother down
(Burn, baby, burn) Disco inferno, yeah
(Burn, baby, burn) Burn the mother down, get it
(Burn, baby, burn) Ah, hey
(Burn, baby, burn) Burn the mother down
(Burn, baby, burn) Disco inferno
(Burn, baby, burn)
