Help!! I'm looking for a song & artist I believe to be from the 70's.
Something in the lyrics sounds like "Playin at the governor's ball."
Male group. Not much else to go on except that I thought it was Dr. Hook.

Well there's going to be a freakers ball
Tonight at the freakers hall
And you know, you're invited one and all

Come on babies grease your lips
Grab your hats and swing your hips
Don't forget to bring your whips
We're going to the freakers ball

Blow your whistle and bang your gong
Roll up something to take along
It feels so good it must be wrong
We're freakin at the freakers ball

Where all the fags and the dykes they're boogyin' together
The leather freaks are dressed in all kinds of leather
The greatest of the sadists and the masochists too
Screaming "Please hit me, and I'll hit you"

The FBI are dancing with the junkies
All the straights, are swinging with the funkies
Across the floor and up the wall
We're freakin at the freakers ball
You, we're freakin at the freakers ball

Everybody's kissing each other
Brother with sister, son with mother
Smear my body up with butter
Take me to the freakers ball

Pass that roach please and pour the wine
I'll kiss yours if you'll kiss mine
I'm going to boogie till I go blind
We're freakin at the freakers ball

White ones, black ones, yellow ones, red ones
Necrophiliacs looking for dead ones
The greatest of the sadist and the masochists too
Screaming "Please hit me, and I'll hit you"

Everybody's fallin' in batches
Pyromaniacs striking matches
I'm going to itch me where it scratches
Freaking at the freakers ball


Dr. Hook Lyrics, Dr. Hook Song Lyrics (http://www.stlyrics.com/songs/d/drhook18813.html)

Thought it was Dr. Hook but it's not. Might be Celebrity Ball by Plastic Penny (1968) but I can't find a sample to verify.
