Dancin' ~ original release

Ho! the band stopped playin'

An' the couples stopped swayin'

But we kept . . . on dancin!

 

The lights went on 

An' the crowd was gone

But we kept . . . on dancin!

 

The janitor said, "Please let me sweep the floor!"

So, I hummed a tune an' we danced right . . .

Thru the door!

 

It started rainin' 

But we both were insane

An' we kept right . . . on dancin'

 

We looked a sight 

By the traffic light 

But we . . . kept on dancin' 

 

The signal was red so we just tapped our feet 

When the light turned green 

Well, we danced across the street!

 

( Couples parked in cars were romancin' )

They were romancin' 

But we kept right in dancin!

 

( Ba bum ba bum bum' )

Our clothes were drippin' 

An' we couldn't help slippin' 

But we kept right on dancin!

 

Our feet were sore 

When we reached your door 

But we kept right on dancin!

 

When I kissed ya goodnight 

My heart started dancin' too 

That's when I knew . . . 

That I would dance my whole life thru 

With only you . . .

 

With only you . . .

 

With only you . . . 

My whole life thru

With only you . . .
