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 in dancin!



Our feet were sore

When we reached your door

But we kept right in 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 . . .
