We were dancing at the party
doing the jerk-and-shout
But suddenly at ten o'clock
the lights went out

Oh man, what's goin' on?

I heard some voices and much noise
on the first floor
I was certain uninvited guys had
passed through the door

Oh man, what's goin' on?

Assume it must be Jackie a
nd some members of his gang
He's the greatest
troublemaker of the town

He always crashes parties
but don't try to push him out
'Cause he simply counts to
ten and knocks you down

We were dancing at the party
doing the jerk-and-shout
But suddenly at ten o'clock
the lights went out

Oh man, what's goin' on?

Finally the lights went
on but Jackie was gone
Half the house was stolen
but the dancing went on

Wow man, what's goin' on?
What's goin' on?
