when i was a younger boy it was said to me
happiness would some day be my friend
but now i'm 21 and i still ain't having fun
so i wonder if i'll get it 'fore i end
i wonder if i'll get it 'fore i end

i know that everyone's got their own situation
but what about me and the pain i'm facin'
the memories i feel they are so abrasive
now i'm in my head so i think i'll just erase it

to the left
to the right
said everybody's dancin' tonight
to the left
to the right
said everybody's dancin' tonight

even though i don't know what i'm here to do
i know that there's a feeling that i'm trying to get through
but there's no sense in sitting here and wallowing in my pain
so i will try to extinguish the insanity in my brain
in my brain
in my brain

CHORUS

everybody's dancin' tonight
everybody's dancin' tonight
said everybody's dancin'
they are dancin' tonight
*scat singing*
said everybody's dancin' tonight

rock, soul, jive and hip hop
said everybody's dancin' tonight
everybody's dancin', they are dancin' tonight

said if i had a dime for everytime you crossed my mind
i would be a millionaire
said i think you are angel that has fallen from the sky
and that is why i have to stare
don't blush
you know it's true
you're givin' me a head rush
i won't stop
i love you
you're makin' me go why
