Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Hey everyone, listen close to my tale,
The night is young, come out of hiding, no need to bail.
The bass vibrates through the floor, the beat is nice and fast,
No time for doubt, come on, I'll take you, the party's here, you know it's gonna last!
(Chorus)
Come along, we're gonna dance! (Yeah!)
Shake those hips real nice, let the swing come through,
Join in, don't waste a single chance,
Till the sun comes up, till the break of dawn, till we drop, boom!
(Verse 2)
Turn your body, feel the groove, leave your worries at the door,
The sax screams, the piano dances, it's a sweet encore.
Slide your feet, clap your hands, everybody's in,
In this rhythm, you are free, a joy that's never thin!
(Chorus)
Come along, we're gonna dance! (Oh yeah!)
Shake those hips real nice, let the swing come through,
Join in, don't waste a single chance,
Till the sun comes up, till the break of dawn, till we drop, boom!
(Bridge)
Boogie-woogie, night of fire, no one stands alone,
The music calls you, it's time to let go, to own.
Swing your arms, laugh all around, feel the beat in your blood,
This is our time, this is our moment, this is our flood!
(Saxophone solo – imagine fast, cheerful notes!)
(Chorus)
Come along, we're gonna dance! (Come on!)
Shake those hips real nice, let the swing come through,
Join in, don't waste a single chance,
Till the sun comes up, till the break of dawn, till we drop, boom!
(Outro)
Yeah, shake those hips… boogie down… keep moving…
Till tomorrow… oh yeah… come along… dance out!
