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
