Sister Ruby
How're you doing tonight?
Got me two tickets

Dance with me
Music to groove you
Music to rock you
Let them see we are ready
Ready to move
Let them see we are ready
Ready to move
Me and you walking down the street
Me and you dancing all around
Everyone clapping their hands
Making big joy
