Lyrics
She looked sixteen, she could have been more
I went to her thinking only of romance
But when the band played, man, I didn't stand the chance
All she wanna do was
Dance, dance, dance, you ought to see her dance
Dance, dance, dance, move over, give her a chance
Well, the people all stood around
Watching her lay it down
She could dance, dance, dance the night away
I tried to show some genuine affection
Maybe a chance of a close connection
I didn't know she was there for just one thing
When the band played, man, you ought to see her swing
Swing down easy
Dance, dance, dance, you ought to see her dance
Dance, dance, dance, move over, give her a chance
Well, the people all stood around
Watching her lay it down
She could dance, dance, dance the night away
And when the dance was nearly over (nearly over)
I decided I was really gonna show her (was gonna show her)
I took a drink and I went to join the fun
That's when the fun had just begun
And when the band played, man, I was second to none
Dance, dance, dance, you ought to see me dance
Dance, dance, dance, move over, give me a chance
Well, the people all stood around
Watching me lay it down
'Cause I can (dance, dance, dance), the night away
(Dance, dance, dance) the night away
(Dance, dance, dance) the night away
Dance, dance, Watusi baby
Dance, dance, funky mofa
Dance, dance, read your Sunday papers
Dance, dance, Desperate Dan's
Dance, dance shake it, baby
Dance, dance, rock n roll
Dance, dance
