She was a be-bop baby on a hard day's night She was hangin' on Johnny, he was holdin' on tight Well, I could feel her coming from a mile away There was no use talking, there was nothing to say When the band began to play and play
CHORUS: And we danced, like a wave on the ocean, romanced We were liars in love and we danced Swept away for a moment by chance Yeah, we danced and danced and danced
I met my be-bop baby at the Union Hall She could dance all night and shake the paint off the walls But when I saw her smile across a crowded room Well I knew we'd have to leave the party soon As the band began to play out of tune
CHORUS And we danced
The endless beat, she's walking my way Hear the music fade when she says Are we getting too close, do we dare to get closer The room is spinning as she whispers my name
