After six hours of school I've had enough for the day
I hit the radio dial and turn it up all the way
I gotta dance (dance-dance-dance now the beat's really hot)
Right on the spot (dance-dance-dance right there on the spot)
The beat's really hot (dance-dance-dance now the beat's really hot)
Dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) yeah!
When I feel put down I try to shake it off quick
With my chick by my side the radio does the trick
I love to dance (dance-dance-dance now the beat's really hot)
Right on the spot (dance-dance-dance right there on the spot)
The beat's really hot (dance-dance-dance now the beat's really hot)
Dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) yeah!
Oh, my!
At a weekend dance we like to show up last
I play it cool when it's slow and jump it when it's fast
I love to dance (dance-dance-dance now the beat's really hot)
Right on the spot (dance-dance-dance right there on the spot)
The beat's really hot (dance-dance-dance now the beat's really hot)
Dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) yeah!
Dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) yeah!
