Boogie Wonderland
Countdown Mix Masters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dance, boogie wonderland. Ha, ha, dance, boogie wonderland
Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts of men who need more than they get
Daylight deals a bad hand to a woman who has laid too many bets
The mirror stares you in the face and says,"Baby, uh, uh, it don't work"
You say your prayers though you don't care; you dance and shake the hurt

Dance, boogie wonderland. Ha, ha, dance, boogie wonderland
Sounds fly through the night; I chase my vinyl dreams to boogie wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland
All the love in the world can't be gone
All the need to be loved can't be wrong
All the records are playing and my heart keeps saying
"Boogie wonderland, wonderland"

Dance, boogie wonderland. Ha, ha, dance, boogie wonderland. Ha, ha




I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland
