This is the last dance This is the last dance This is the last dance So twist and shout This is the last dance This is the last dance The bouncer is waiting For you to cut out
It's the last chance for you, little teeny-vamps To stumble around in high-heeled shoes The last one to show that you're grown up and free Then go home, Mom and Daddy are angry with you
And the peeping Toms there, at the edge of the dance floor Cool guys singing the lonely man's blues This is your deadline, pull yourself together And then you will kiss the girl next to you
Heroes of the boozer's battle! This is the last, stale sip of the night Make it snappy, kill the bottle And then I want you to crawl out of sight
It's the last dance This is the last dance You are the loosers In a phoney game This is the break of dawn This ia he cruel hour It's like a cold shower For a freezing man
