Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I said, what is happening here?
Something's going on that's not quite clear
Somebody turn on the lights
Yeah, we're gonna have a party
It's starting tonight
[Verse 2]
Whoa, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Whoa, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
[Verse 3]
The room is hot and that's good
Some of my friends came by from the neighborhood
See that, uh, people are starting to climb the walls
It looks like everybody is having a ball
[Verse 4]
Whoa, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Whoa, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
[Verse 5]
Whoa, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Whoa, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
[Verse 6]
Everybody starts to lose control when the music is right
If you see somebody hanging around, don't get uptight
The only thing we want to do tonight
Is go around and around, and turn upside down
[Verse 7]
So come on, let's get loose
Don't hold back 'cause I said, there ain't no use
It's hard to keep your feet on the ground
'Cause when we like to party, we only want to get down
[Verse 8]
Whoa, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Whoa, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
[Verse 9]
Whoa, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Whoa, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
[Verse 10]
Dancing, dancing
We're dancing, dancing, dancing
Oh, dancing on the ceiling
Dancing, dancing
