Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, hey, hey , hey, hey, hey, hey.

I'll be your dancing queen if you wanna roll.
Take me by the hand and let me lead the way.

Coz when we get down, we get down right till the morning, right till dawn.
Coz when we get down, we get down right till the morning, right till dawn.
Looking for the time of your life boy, if you want, I'll show you the way.
Gotta get down with the master, I'll show you every difficult move.

Take me by the hand, take me by the waist and let's work our way down to the floor.
Take me by the hand, take me by the waist and let's work our way down to the floor.

I'll be your dancing queen if you wanna roll.
Take me by the hand and let me lead the way.

Coz when we get down, we get down right till the morning right till dawn.
Coz when we get down, we get down right till the morning, right till dawn.

Hey, hey, hey , hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hell my clock just struck 12 boy,
And Cinderella better get outta there.
Or else you know them two step sisters they gonna be on my case.

Should I go? Should I stay?
Hell that's the age old question boy.
Should I go? Should I stay?
Hell that's the age old question boy.

I'll be your dancing queen if you wanna roll.
Take me by the hand and let me lead the way.

Coz when we get down, we get down right till the morning, right till dawn.
Coz when we get down, we get down right till the morning, right till dawn.

Coz when we get down, we get down right till the morning, right till dawn.
Coz when we get down, we get down right till the morning, right till dawn.

It started out as something more than words, as something more than heart, only we could feel it. (Only we could feel it)
And that's why I solemnly swear to lead you into that dance floor.
Woah Woah Woah woohoo

I'll be your dancing queen if you wanna roll.
Take me by the hand and let me lead the way.

Coz when we get down, we get down right till the morning right till dawn.
Coz when we get down, we get down right till the morning, right till dawn.

Coz when we get down, we get down right till the morning right till dawn.
Coz when we get down, we get down right till the morning, right till dawn.





Hey, hey, hey , hey, hey, hey, hey.
