Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Alright
I've got my dance shoes on
And I'm feeling alright
Gonna get 'em moving

On the floor on the floor tonight
I've got my dance shoes on
And I feel alright

You got your black dress on

And you're looking alright
And you're looking alright
And you're my girl
Gonna take you home

Gonna take you home tonight
Home tonight
Because I've got a job to do
Gotta get 'em moving

On the floor tonight
On the floor tonight
I've got my dance-shoes on
And I feel alright

And I'm your man
And I feel alright
And you're my girl
I bet you feel

I bet you feel alright
I bet you feel alright
I've got my dancin' shoes on
Gonna get 'em moving

Gonna get 'em moving
On the floor on the floor
On the floor on the floor tonight
On the floor tonight

And I'm dressed up just right

Got my hair combed down just right
On the floor tonight
