Veeck, as in wreck, said, "What the heck?
I got a losing team and a blank check"
I got a need to put some butts in the seats
It's time for a gimmick to make it complete
There's a guy on the radio saying, "Disco sucks"
Doesn't matter to me, but I know what makes bucks
Let's bring out the fans to blow up records that they hate
In the break between a double-header against the Tigersgreat
Win or lose, there's one thing that I've said
"It's better to be flash than boring instead"
They left the field in a terrible condition

The first game was done and DJ Steve Dahl took his place
Flak jack, tank and helmet to stir up the ranks
One Donna Summer, two more by Chic
Three Sylvester, toot-toot, beep-beep
But look, there's Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye
Oh, that ain't disco, I mean, what the-, hey
The flames grew higher, the field blew up
Pandemonium, riot, second game called by the umps
Win or lose, there's one thing that I've said
"It's better to be flash than boring instead"
"Fall on The Floor" was the Sound Plus Edition

Not for down the line, it was fine
For frat boys to get funky at Woodstock 99
Steven Tyler in a scarf begat Boy George in a dress
The fans ate it up without any duress
A bonfire set ablaze by fear of sex and race
In a time when we all should've hung our heads in disgrace
Win or lose, there's one thing that I've said
"It's better to be flash than boring instead"
They left the field in a terrible condition
