I was at the dance till late that night Everything was feeling alright I was there with all of my friends Suddenly right out of the blue Well, this little boy said "I've heard about you They say you're the best dancer in this school!" He said, "Baby, do you want to dance?" He said, "I'm gonna let you take this chance" He said, "I better warn you in advance You could lose it." He said, "I don't mean to put you down But I got the quickest feet in town And I'm gonna burn this dance hall down I can prove it." I said, "Darling, don't you worry about me I got the steps down 1-2-3 You've never seen me move my feet Well, I've made high school history." He laughed Now this is hard to believe This little boy thinks he's better than me Well, out on the floor And we'll just see who can move it High school history (Girl, you better shake it or you'll never make it) High school history
