In a dance band competition fox-trotting with my girl

Dance, dance, dance all night, dance your life away

High geared razzle dazzle, recession is the trouble

Dance, dance, dance all night, dance your life away

Thirty hours on the floor and twenty partners left

Dance, dance, dance all night, dance your life away

Feel so tired it must be a week, nearly on my knees

Dance, dance, dance all night, dance your life away

California, you always seem to have the sun

But I never really got near to it

And you try your hand at anything you know

Just to try and earn a dollar
