out on the dance floor lookin real sharp
waiting for someone to pass your way
move those feet like a star from tv
you're waitin for a gal to say to her
well the night time is the right time
to hold somebody tight
squeeze them, please them
make it a good night
you see her, you meet her
she's dancin like you never seen before
treat her, she's a go-getter
you'll be happy and that's for sure
for who knows where she's goin
if she's goin to the same place
if not this may be goodbye
but first let's have a good night
well the night time is the right time
to hold somebody tight
squeeze them, please them
make it a good night
oh my lord,
she's as crazy as a fool
her feet ain't workin right
and she looks like a tool
get out quick before she sees
looks like tonight you're leavin with me
well the night time is the right time
to hold somebody tight
squeeze them, please them
make it a good night
