Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey baby, won't you take a chance?
Say that you'll let me have this dance
Let's dance, come on, let's dance
Do the twist, the stomp
The mashed potato too
Come on, come on, let's dance
Hey baby, woh, you thrill me so
Hold me tight, don't let me go
Hey hey hey come on, let's dance
Do the twist, the stomp
The mashed potato too
Any old dance that you wanna do
Come on, hey come on, let's twist, alright
Hey, baby, if you're all alone
Maybe you'll let me walk you home
Hey, hey come on, let's dance
Do the twist, the stomp
The mashed potato too

The lyrics to Tony Sheridan & the Beatles' song "Let's Dance" are fairly straightforward and revolve around the theme of inviting someone to dance and enjoy the night. The song begins with a request for the listener to take a chance, to say that they'll let the singer have this dance. It's an invitation for them to join in and have fun.
The chorus emphasizes the act of dancing, encouraging the listener to do the twist, stomp, mashed potato, or any other dance they desire. The atmosphere is lively and joyful, with a call for everyone to come together and dance. The second verse reinforces the desire for connection, as the singer asks to be held tightly, not wanting to be let go.
Later in the song, the singer suggests that if the listener is alone, maybe they can walk home together. It's another way of expressing their interest and hoping for a closer connection. The final verse highlights the excitement of the night and implies that it's the perfect time for dancing.
