Lyrics:

D. Pomus and M. Shuman

You can dance, you can dance with the guy
Who gave you the eye
And let him hold you tight
You can smile, you can smile for the man
Who held your hand
'Neath the pale moonlight

But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me

Yes, I know that the music's fine
Like sparkling wine
Go and have your fun
Laugh and sing
But while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone

But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me

Don't you know I really love you so?
Can't you feel it when we touch?
Don't you know I'll never llet you go
I need you oh so much

You can dance, you can carry on
'Til the night is gone
And it's time to go
And if he asks
If you're all alone and he can take you home
You must tell him no

But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me
So darlin', save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me...
