Lyrics
Hey baby won’t you take a chance?
Say that you’ll let me have this dance
Well let’s dance, well let’s dance
We’ll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too,
Any old dance that you wanna do
But let’s dance, well let’s dance
Hey baby, yeah, you thrill me so
Hold me tight, don’t you let me go
But let’s dance, well let’s dance
We’ll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too
Any old dance that you wanna do
But let’s dance, well let’s dance
Ok, wail now
Oh, yeah
Hey, baby, if you’re all alone
Maybe you’ll let me walk you home
But let’s dance, well let’s dance
We’ll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too,
Any old dance that you wanna do
But let’s dance, well let’s dance
Hey, baby, things are swingin’ right
Yes, I know that this is the night
Well let’s dance, well let’s dance
We’ll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too
Any old dance that you wanna do
But let’s dance, well let’s dance
But let’s dance
But let’s dance
But let’s dance
