I went to her thinking only of romance
but when the band played, man, I didn't
stand a chance all she wanna do was

She could dance, dance, dance the night away.

I tried to show some genuine affection could be a

I didn't know she was there for just one thing.
Cause 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 I decided I was really
gonna show her.
I took a drink and I went to join the fun (that's when the

Dance, dance, dance, move over, give me a chance.
Well, the people all stood around watching me lay
it down.
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 dance
dance dance, shake it, baby dance, dance, rock n' roll dance
dance, see you later (Fade.)
