Say that you'll let me have this dance
Well let's dance, let's dance.
We'll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potatoes too
Any old dance that you wanna do
Well let's dance, well let's dance.
Hey baby yeah you thrill the soul
Well let's dance, let's dance.
We'll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potatoes too
Any old dance that you wanna do
Well let's dance, well let's dance.
Hey baby if you're all alone
Baby you'll let me walk you home
Well let's dance, let's dance.
We'll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potatoes too
Any old dance that you wanna do
Well let's dance, well let's dance.
