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 . . Words and Music by Jerry Leiber And Mike Stoller
