lyrics

Verse 1

I was sitting in a discothèque cliché
When the girl of my dreams looked my way
My knees went weak my face went red
And as she walked to me
She was dancing, and romancing

It would be the very first time we would meet
She asked to dance all I had 2 left feet
I was soaked with sweat I could not move
And all that I could say was
I am sorry, I won’t be dancing

Chorus 1

What could I do? What could I say?
I had no skills, I could display
What could I do? What could I say?
I had no skills, I could display

I should be dancing, I should be dancing
Dancing, I should be dancing
Dancing, I should be dancing
I should take her hand and dance the night away (ole!)

Verse 2

I wanted that girl so I took a chance
If she’d ask again I had to learn to dance
So I went to school and learnt the trade
In order to be hers
I was taught to, keep on dancing

So I practiced night and day until I wept
I dreamt about dancing while I slept
My shoes wore out, my feet would bleed
I was pulling out my hair
Keep on dancing, keep on dancing

Chorus 2

What can I do, What can I say
What are the skills, I should display
What can I do, What can I say
What are the skills, I should display

I should be dancing, I should be dancing
Dancing, I should be dancing
Dancing, I should be dancing
I should take her hand and dance the night away (ole!)


Verse 3

I went back to the discothèque that night
I saw the girl she set my heart alight
I walked across and took her hand
I whispered in her ear
We should be dancing, and romancing

I looked into her eyes, the music played
A circle formed around our escapade
We took a twirl, and then a spin
I dipped her to the ground
She was smiling and I was smiling

Chorus 3

Because we were dancing, We were dancing
Dancing,We were dancing
Dancing,We were dancing
I took her hand and danced the night away
We danced the night away
