Dancing days are here again,
As the summer evenings grow.
I got my flower,
I got my power,
I got a woman who knows.

I said it's alright,
You know it's alright,
I guess it's all in my heart.
You'll be my only,
My one and only,
Is that the way it should start?

Crazy ways are evident,
In the way you're wearing your clothes.
Sipping booze is precedent,
As the evening starts to glow.

You know it's alright,
I said it's alright,
You know it's all in my heart.
You'll be my only,
My one and only,
Is that the way it should start?

You told your mamma I'd get you home,
But you didn't say that I had no car.
I saw a lion he was standing alone,
With a tadpole in a jar.

You know it's alright,
I said it's alright,
I guess it's all in my heart.
You'll be my only,
My one and only,
Is that the way it should start?

So dancing days are here again,
As the summer evenings grow.
You are my flower,
You are my power,
And you are my woman who knows.

I said it's alright,
You know it's alright,
You know it's all in my heart.
You'll be my only,
My one and only,
Is that the way it should start?
I know it is.

When I see you at that dance,
With your tight dress on,
What you got it sure is fine,
I wanna get me some.

Darlene.

Come back and be my sweet little girl.
When I see you on the street,
It makes my heart go flitter,
I see you walkin with all those guys,
It makes me feel so sick.

And I don't care what people say,
And I don't care what they do.
Sweet child I gotta make you mine.
You're the only thing that I want, you.
And baby baby when you walk down the block,
See the people [?look?],
You drive me wild.
I gotta do it really gonna try.

Oh baby I got my car,
I'll take you as far.
I'm gonna take you every place,
I'm gonna boogie-woogie-woogie-woogie.

I'm gonna prove it Darlene.
I'm gonna make you my girl.
I'm gonna boogie Darlene.
I'm gonna send ya in another world.

Cause I love Darlene,
I gotta love her,
Yes I do.
I've been savin all my money.
I've been workin all day long.
I gotta give it all back to you.

But I love Darlene.
Yes I love you, yes I do.
I've been working too, I've been working every day,
I've been trying to get home to you.

And I love you Darlene.
Yes I love you I do.
I got a pink carnation and a pickup truck,
I'm saving it all for you.
Oh I love you.

Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true,
Wanted a woman never bargained for you.
Lots of people talk and few of them know,
Soul of a woman was created below.

You hurt and abused telling all of your lies,
Run arounds sweet baby lord how they hypnotize.
Sweet little baby I don't know where you've been,
God I love you baby here I come again.

Every day I work so hard bringing home my hard earned pay
Try to love you baby but you push me away.
Don't know where you're going only know just where you've been,
Sweet little baby I want you again.

Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true,
Wanted a woman never bargained for you.
Take it easy baby let them say what they will.
(Did your) tongue wag so much when I sent you the bill?

Don't play that song for me
It brings back memories
Oh baby I want you

Down by the seaside,
See the boats go sailing.
Can the people hear,
What the little fish are saying.

People turned away.
People turned away.

Down in the city streets,
See all the folk go racing.
No time left,
To pass the time of day.

People turned away.
People turned away.
So far away, so far away.

Do you still do the twist,
Do you find you remember things that well.
Some folks twistin' every day,
Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell.

Out in the country,
Hear the people singing.
Singing about their progress,
Knowing where they're going.

People turned away.
People turned away.

Sing loud for the sunshine,
Pray hard for the rain.
And show your love for lady nature,
And she will come back again.

People turned away.
People turned away.
Now they know where they're going.

Oh oh oh oh oh,
You don't have to go.
You don't have to go.
You don't have to go.

Ay ay ay ay ay ay,
All those tears I cry.
All those tears I cry.
Baby please don't go.

When I read the letter you wrote me,
It made me mad mad mad.
When I read the words that it told me,
It made me sad sad sad.
But I still love you so,
I can't let you go.
I love you,
Baby I love you.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh,
Every breath I take.
Every move I make.
Baby please don't go.

Ay ay ay ay ay ay,
You hurt me to my soul.
You hurt me to my soul.
Darling please don't go.

When I read the letter you sent me,
It made me mad mad mad.
When I read the news that it broke,
It made me sad sad sad.
But I still love you so,
I can't let you go.
I love you,
Baby I love you.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh,
You don't have to go.
You don't have to go.
Baby please.

Give your lovin' like a chunk of dynamite
( ? ) hold it tight
( ? )

Three two one zero
Here I go
Dynamite!
