Night Fever
London Theatre Orchestra & Cast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen to the ground, there is movement all around
There is somethin’ goin' down, and I can feel it
On the waves of the air, there is dancin' out there
If it's somethin' we can share, we can steal it

And that sweet city woman, she moves through the light,
Controlling my mind and my soul
When you reach out for me, yeah, and the feelin' is right,
And then I get

The night fever, night fever, we know how to do it
Gimme the night fever, night fever, we know how to show it

Here I am, prayin' for this moment to last,
Livin' on the music so fine, born on the wind,
Makin' it mine
And then I get

The night fever, night fever, we know how to do it (ahh)
Gimme the night fever, night fever, we know how to show it

In the heat of our love, don't need no help for us to make it
Gimme just enough to take us to the mornin'
I got fire in my mind, I get higher in my walkin',
And I'm glowin' in the dark, I give you warnin'

And that sweet city woman, she moves through the light,
Controlling my mind and my soul
When you reach out for me, yeah, and the feelin' is right,
And then I get

The night fever, night fever, we know how to do it
Feels like forever, baby, don't you know it
Gimme the night fever, night fever, we know how to show it

Here I am, prayin' for this moment to last,
Livin' on the music so fine, born on the wind,
Makin' it mine

Night fever, night fever, we know how to do it
(Feels like forever, baby don't you know it)
Gimme the night fever, night fever, we know how to show it
(Feeling forever don't you know it)
Gimme the night fever, night fever, we know how to do it
(Feels like forever, baby don't you know it)
Gimme the night fever, night fever, we know how to show it (ooh)
Gimme the night fever, night fever, we know how to do it




(Feels like forever, baby don't you know it)
Gimme the night fever, night fever
