I never won for losing
But it ceased to be amusing when you told me
That every night you're shining bright
And the big apple band a callin' out your nameAnd what do you mean the Rolling Stones ain't nothing to you
'Cause they ain't got the beat right
I'm trying to tell you something
But you're gonna jump around crazy half the nightEverybody be dancing, dancing
Dancing half the night away
Everybody be dancing
Dancing half the night awaySay you like to have a good time
But you don't want to go no place cold and old
You're heading for the neon light
To join the crowd shaking from door to doorYou get me in such a heat
You know I'm gonna catch that beat if it kills me
But don't you think it's a crying shame
That they don't dance like Carmen here no moreEverybody be dancing, dancing
Dancing half the night away
Everybody be dancing
Dancing half the night away
