Who took the bomp?

Every day and night
Every day and night
I can see your disco disco dick
Is sucking my heart out of my mind
I'm outta time, I'm outta fucking time
I'm a gasoline gut with a Vaseline mind, but
Wanna disco? Wanna see me disco?
Let me hear you depoliticize my rhyme
(One, two, three, four)
You got what you been asking for
You're so policy free and
Your fantasy wheels and everything you think
And everything you feel
Is alright, alright, alright, alight, alright

I take you home, now watch me get you hot
You're just a parrot when you're screaming
And you're shouting
"More crackers, please, more crackers, please"
You want what you want but you don't wanna be on your knees
Who does your, who does your hair?

Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp?
Who took the ram from the ramalamadingdong?
Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp?
Who took the ram from the ramalamadingdong?
How are you?
Fine, thank you
How are you?
Fine, thank you

You bought a new van the first year of your band
You're cool and I hardly wanna say "not"
Because I'm so bored that I'd be entertained
Even by a stupid floor, a linoleum floor, linoleum floor
Your lyrics are dumb like a linoleum floor
I'll walk on it, I'll walk all over you
Walk on it, walk on it, walking one, two

(Who? Who? Who? Who?)
Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp?
Who took the ram from the ramalamading-dong?
Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp?
Who took the ram from the ramalamading-dong?
See you later
See you later
See you later
See you later

    In addition to the above, I feel it's one of those multi-level songs that can be interpreted in many ways. Another way is this: They're talking about how rock and roll was meant to be fun, and not some moneymaking profit mill. While certain other bands kow-tow to the mighty record labels and being their lackeys, Le Tigre is attempting to keep rock and roll fun and light hearted. When a band puts profit over integrity, it's like taking the bomp from the bomp-a-lomp-a-lomp; the result is as boring as a linoleum floor. Disco has long been a metaphor for record companies' attempts to make things crassly commercial in rock and roll. Even the title is metaphorical. Deceptacons, of course, are the evil robots from Transformers. Those that chose to kow-to the corporate are being no better than evil robots.
