You Make My Pants Want To Get Up And Dance
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You make my pants wanna get up and dance
You make my face wanna grin
You make my knees, kneel down, say please
Honey, won't you kiss me again?

You make my pants wanna get up and dance
You make my face wanna grin
You make my knees, kneel down, say please
Honey, won't you kiss me again?

I was a lost and a lonely man
I get through life the best I can
Ever since that day I laid my eye on you
That day I decided what I had to do

You make my pants wanna get up and dance
You make my face wanna grin
You make my knees, kneel down, say please
Honey, won't you kiss me again?

Start the music, strike up the band
I never did the boogie but I bet that I can
Never met a girl half as sweet as you
Nobody ever moved that the move you do

You make my pants wanna get up and dance
You make my face wanna grin
You make my knees, kneel down, say please
Honey, won't you kiss me again?

Honey, won't you kiss me?
Honey, won't you kiss me?




Honey, won't you kiss me again?
Oh yeah, alright

I have a friend who was called on stage in October, and believe me, she is still walking on air! Yes, he is 72 (will be 73 in May) and is a very handsome, sexy, ultimate performer. I have seen him many times, and he always gives a fantastic performance...the best!

@hideonlineplayersteam165

So lucky you saw him

@user-gw1ig5vu4y

I have seen him when he was 76. And, beleeve me, his sexy jokes didn't work anymore, though his voice sounded as good as 40 years ago.

I am new to the computer and can you imagine the thrill I experienced upon finding that I can sit at my desk and watch the love of my life in concert from all over the world? I am stunned and speechless!! I have adored this man forever. I just saw him at the Maricopa Events Center in AZ, and, as usual, he was the best!! Thank all of you so very much for posting these videos. You can't know how much they mean to me and to all his fans. He was as gorgeous in AZ as he is on this video.

@carolbob606

@musicmaestrodj

Going to see him tonight and at 76 years old, I have no doubt he will put on one heck of a great show!

@user-gw1ig5vu4y

Well, I have seen him in concert at his 76 years. His voice was the same, but his sexy jokes already didn't work. It was just ridiculous...
