Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Whee-ooh, whee-ooh, hoo-ooh-oop-whee-ooh, whee-ooh)
I can see the dancin' (let me in)
The silhouettes on the shade
I hear the music (music), all the lovers on parade
Open up (let me in), I want to come in again
I thought you were my friend
Pitter patter of those fee-ee-ee-ee-eet
Movin' and a-groovin' with that be-eat
Jumpin' and stompin on the flo-o-o-o-oor
(Lemme in) Let me in!
(Open up) Open up!
Why don't you open up that door? (let me in)
I-uh (open up) hear music let me in (music)
I want to come in again
Let me in (let me in), a-well I heard it just then
I thought you were my friend
(Whee-ooh, whee-ooh, hoop-whee-ooh)

Pitter patter of the fee-ee-ee-ee-eet
Movin' and a-groovin' with that be-eat
Jumpin' and stompin on the flo-o-o-o-oor
(Lemme in) Let me in!
(Open up) Open up!
Why don't you open up that door? (let me in)
I-uh-I-uh-I (open up) hear music, let me in (music)

When my husband and I were dating, he came to the door one night and sang part of this song. For 55 more years when we heard it play we would turn it up and sing it! I miss him every single day, but hearing this song makes me smile

As a former drummer from the late 50's to the mid-60's, I really enjoyed playing "Let Me In" by The Sensations. It was a difficult song to play due to the syncopating timing beat, but I still enjoyed playing it by request from our musically adroit fans! Thanks for the memory video from the best years of my life!
