When I passed you in the doorway
Well you took me with a glance
I should have took that last bus home
But I asked you for a dance
Now we go steady to the pictures
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
And my father he's going crazy
He say's I'm living in a trance
[Chorus]
But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's alright, alright
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night
It's three o'clock in the morning
And I'm on the streets again
I disobeyed another warning
I should have been in by ten
Now I won't get out until Sunday
I'll have to say I stayed with friends
Oh but it's a habit worth forming
If it means to justify the end
[Chorus]
And I'm walking home
The last bus is long gone
And I'm dancing in the moonlight
[Chorus]
Dancing in the moonlight
I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
Dancing in the moonlight
It's got me hot
Dancing in the moonlight
I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's caught me alright, alright, alright
It's so god damn hot
I'm dancing
I'm still dancing
I'm dancing in the moonlight
