Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't believe you want to leave so soon
The party's just began now, don't go away
The music is sweet for your dancing pleasure
Baby has no measure
[Verse 2]
Swing and dine and dance for your money
Swing and dine and dance for your money
Swing and dine and dance for your money
Swing and dine and dance for your money
[Verse 3]
Please mister DJ play this song for me
Please mister DJ, please, play this song for me again
The music has got me rockin' in the soul now
Oh, Lord, I pray now I'll never grow old now
[Verse 4]
Swing and dine and dance for your money
Swing and dine and dance for your money
Swing and dine and dance for your money
Swing and dine and dance for your money
[Verse 5]
Please mister DJ play this song for me
Please mister DJ, please, play this song for me again
The music has got me rockin' in the soul now
Oh, Lord, I pray now I'll never grow old now
[Verse 6]
Swing and dine and dance for your money
Swing and dine and dance for your money
Swing and dine and dance for your money
Swing and dine and dance for your money
Swing, swing, swing and dine
Swing, swing, swing and dine
Swing, swing, swing and dine
