The Rotary Lyrics - Xtc

Thanks to Erich Sellheim 

I'm warning you 

I'm warning you now 

Look out people as it's the holy cow 

It's the rotary 

I told you 'bout the spinning top 

And that's a dance you gotta drop 

Because the rotary is in 

The rotary, the rotary 

The dance you've got to top is the brand-new spinning top 

That's out, this is the rotary 

The rotary 

This is a thing that's definitely gonna make Captain Beefheart 

And His Magic Band look bad 

They thought they had it with the "blimp" 

Well I'm talking to you about the rotary 

People will be coming, will be twirling, twirling, twirling, twirling 

The rotary 

You can jump it, I can jump it 

Everybody can jump it 

Grab an armadillo, grab your husband, grab anybody 

The rotary 

The rotary, the rotary, oh, the rotary 

It's the thing that's for me and you 

Ooh, ooh, the rotary 

I can see the precision 

They're lining up, falling over 

They're going crazy 

They can't get enough of the rotary 

Yes, siree 

The rotary 

Turning, turning, turning, turning... 

You're burning, burning, burning... 

With the rotary, ooh 

Yes, siree 

The rotary 

I shouldn't want you to get this confused with any other dance craze 

Because this is the one 

Oh, the rotary 

You'll be burning all your clothes 

And you'll be burning all of your jewellery 

You will be the rotary 

It's nothing like anarchy 

No, siree 

It's, it's the rotary 

The rotary, the rotary... 

R.O.T.A.R.Y. 

Rotary, the rotary 

You'll want to do it, do it with me 

You'll want to do it, you can do it for free 

The rotary 

Go on Terry, play the rotary 

How do you think he got the second half of his name? 

Terry is the last part of Rotary 

Drum it up, drum it up...
