Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk

I'm a woman's man, no time to talk

Music loud and women warm,

I've been kicked around since I was born

And now it's all right, I'm okay

you may look the other way

We can try to understand

The New York Times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother

You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'

And you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive

Oh, when you walk

Well, now I get low and I get high

And when I can't get either, I really try

Got the wings of heaven on my shoes

I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose

You know, it's all right, it's okay

I'll live to see another day

We can try to understand

The New York Times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother

You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'

And you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me

Somebody help me yeah

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me yeah

I'm stayin' alive

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk

I'm a woman's man, no time to talk

Music loud and women warm

I've been kicked around since I was born

And now it's all right, it's okay

you may look the other way

We can try to understand

The New York Times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother

You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'

And you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me

somebody help me yeah!

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me yeah!

I'm stayin' alive
