Lyrics

[A one two three four]

[All right]

Well I'm just sitting there
Petticoats swinging like fans
To the beat
Well now the band's so good it's got the whole place clapping their hands
It's so sweet
Well now you don't think you can dance to this song
Uh uh honey that's thinking all wrong
That look in your eye
Baby we cant go wrong

Well now the band's out bopping come on come on
Standing out standing they're singing their song
With that look in your eye
Baby we cant go wrong bop bop bop bop bop

Look a love on the dance floor
Look a love for your partner
When you're looking that way
Baby we can't go wrong

Well now the Latin boys have picked off the bongo drums
The main boys are shouting come on come on
When you're looking like that
Baby we cant go wrong

Look a love on the dance floor
Look a love for your partner
When you're looking like that
Baby we can't go wrong

You just let that music take control
And then baby baby baby that's rock and roll
When you're looking like that
Baby we cant go wrong, no

Look a love on the dance floor
Look a love for your partner
When you're looking like that
Baby we cant go wrong

Look a love on the dance floor
Look a love for your partner
Looking that way
Baby we cant go wrong

Look a love on the dance floor
Look a love for your partner
Look a love on the dance floor
That's what you dance for ???
Baby we can't go wrong

Standing out standing they're singing their song

Well the bands out bopping come on come on
They're standing out standing they're singing their song
With that look in your eye
Baby we cant go wrong, no

Look a love on the dance floor
Look a love for your partner
When you're looking like that
Baby we cant go, baby we cannot go wrong
(Cause there is love there, you know)

Lyrics

[While they're tuning up here I think I'll describe to you what we're gonna do,
This next song - why I will -
This song says
"Darling it doesn't matter if you don't think you can dance on the dance floor,
You're bound to do better than you think cause just with that look in your eye you can't go wrong,
You're worried that you don't know the steps that your friends know,
Why worry they don't know the steps that you know,
With that look in your eye baby you can't go wrong]

[Now, 1 2, I don't need it to be quite that loud, like a, no, neither does anything else, make it a proportion ??? bring the whole thing down ???
Are we ready modern lovers?
With that look in your eye baby we can't go wrong,
That's fine sound, it is great now,
This is a 1 2 a 1 2 3 4]

Well I'm just sitting there
Watching your petticoats swinging like fans
To the beat
Well now the band's so good it's got the whole place clapping their hands
It's so sweet
Well now you don't think you can dance to this song
Uh uh honey that's thinking all wrong
With that look in your eye
Baby we cant go wrong, my my

Well the band's out bopping come on come on
Standing out standing they're singing their song
With that look in your eye
Baby we cant go wrong bop bop bop bop bop

Look a love on the dance floor (I just wanna)
Look a love for your part-nor
When you're looking that way
Baby we can not go wrong

Well now the Latin boys have picked off the bongo drums
The main boys are shouting come on come on
When you're looking like that
Baby we cant go wrong bop bop bop bop bop

Look a love on the dance floor
Look a love for your part-nor
Cause when you're looking that way
Baby we can't go wrong, my my

Well you just let that music take control
And then baby baby baby that's rock and roll
When you're looking like that
Baby we cant go wrong, bop bop yeah

Look a love on the dance floor
Look a love for your part-nor
Cause when you're looking that way
Baby we cant go wrong, my my

Look a love on the dance floor
Just look a love for your partner
Cause when you're looking like that
Baby we cant go wrong

Look a love while you're on the dance floor
Look a love for your part-nor
Cause when you're looking like that
Baby we cant go
Baby we can't go wrong

[How ?? doing?

What the hell's that?

1 back in your life 1]

Lyrics

[Baby we cant go wrong on the dance floor
??? Have to worry about the steps the other people know
???]

This is a 1 a 2 a 1 2 3 4

Well I'm just sitting there
Watching your petticoat swinging like fans
To the beat
And now the band's so good it's got the whole place clapping their hands
It's so sweet
Well now you don't think you can dance to this song
Now uh uh honey that's thinking all wrong
With that look in your eye
Baby we cant go wrong

Well now the band's out bopping come on come on
They're standing out standing they're singing their song
With that look in your eye
Baby we cant go wrong

Look a love on the dance floor
Look a love for your partner
When you're looking like that
Baby we can't go wrong

Well now the Latin boys have picked off the bongo drums
The main boys are shouting come on come on
When you're looking like that
Baby we cant go wrong

Look a love on the dance floor
Look a love for your partner
But when you're looking that way
??? Can't go wrong

You just let that music take control
And then baby that's always what they meant by rock and roll
When you're looking like that
Baby we cant go wrong

Look a love on the dance floor
Look a love for your partner
When you're looking like that
Baby we cant go wrong

Look a love on the dance floor
Look a love for your partner
When you're looking like that
Baby we cant go wrong

Look a love on the dance floor
Look a love for your partner
Look a love on the dance floor
That's what you dance for
???
