  • Sitting with the thinker, trying to work it out
    It's a traffic jam of the brain, makes you want to scream and shout
    Presidential party, no one wants to dance
    Looking for a new star to put you in a trance

    Let's go all the way
    Let's go all the way
    Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, let's go all the way

    Working in a factory eight days a week
    Try to make dollar, damn what a beat
    Cartoon capers happen in reality
    Rich man, poor man, living in fantasy

    Let's go all the way
    Let's go all the way
    Oh oh oh, let's go all the way
    Wow, thinker

    Yeah yeah yeah
    Living in New York, looks like an apple core (apple core)
    Asphalt jungle, got to be a man of war
    California dreamers sinking in the sand (the sand, the sand, the sand)
    The Hollywood squares are living in Disneyland
    Wee! Ho

    Let's go all the way (let's go all the way)
    Let's go all the way (let's go)
    Ah, we can make a better way
    Let's go all the way
    Go all the way
    Let's go all the way
    Yeah

    Na na na-na na na na na na na na-na
    Na na na-na na yeah

  • Cricket from OklahomaLoved it when it came out. I was a DJ in a club then, another DJ and I made a mix with it, Fly Girl and Fly guy, It was awesome, it was an awesome song alone and the mix was great
  • James G Falor from Camp LejeuneI was stationed with Charlie Co, 3rd BTN, and this song was ALWAYS playing at the E-Club at Cherry Point. We'd run/hike all the way there just because the club on Geiger was a Quonset-hut with warm Bud and a crappy radio! lol
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn this day in 1986 {May 17th} a video of Sly Fox's "Let's Go All The Way" was aired on the nationally syndicated television program, 'Soul Train'...
    At the time the song was at position #35 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, five weeks earlier it had peaked at #7 {for 2 weeks} and it spent almost a half-year on the Top 100 {25 weeks}...
    And on May 10th, 1986 it reached #1 {for 1 week} on the Canadian RPM Magazine Top Singles chart...
    One month later in June of 1986 the American duo charted with their only other record to make the Top 100, "Stay True", it stayed on the Top 100 for two weeks, and for both those weeks it was at position #94...

  • Clay from UsaName origin: According to a story told to me by Michael Camacho (they came to the club I was DJing at for a track date), they'd come up with the rhythm track and the Boogie Boys, in the same studio, heard it and said "Y'all is sly as foxes!" - and nicked it for "Fly Girl" (easy enough to do since Ted Currier was producing both). Whether it's actually true or not is anyone's guess. They were riding their 15 minutes at the time. No disrespect to Mudbone, who has had a solid career.
  • Dave from Wheaton, IlIt was based on the same groove 'Fly girl' by the Boogie Boys. Both songs were produced by Englishman, Ted Currier.
  • Teressa from Seguin, TxThis song was the in the background during many a Jr. High track meet, back in the day. Hearing it now, I can still smell sweaty pre-teens, gatorade and Ben-gay. Great memories of the 80s!!
  • Jos from Helden, NetherlandsMy interpretation: drop the atom bomb.

  • Carlos from Brooklyn, Nycleverly combines techno-dance with a hard rock sensibility.
