Lyrics

La-la-la-la-la-la-la (Hey, hey, yeah)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (Oh baby)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (Hey, hey, yeah)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la
You can have this dance with me
You can hold my hand
And whisper in my ear
Sweet words that I love to hear
(Whisper sweet words in my ear) Oh baby
(Sweet words that I love to hear)
Don't be shy (Don't be shy)
Just take your time (Just take your time)
I'd like to get to know you
(Ooh, get to know you)
I'd like to make you mine
I've been waiting (So long)
Sitting here so patiently (So patiently)
For you to come over
And have this dance with me
And my number is
Beechwood 4-5-7-8-9
You can call me up and have a date any old time
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (Hey, hey, hey)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Don't be shy (Don't be Shy)
Just take your time (Just take your time)
I'd like to get to know you
(Ooh, get to know you)
I'd like to make you mine
Beechwood 4-5-7-8-9
You can call me up and have a date any old time
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Don't be shy
Just take your time
I'd like to get to know you
I'd like to make you mine
And my number is
Beechwood 4-5-7-8-9
You can call me up and have a date any old time
Beechwood 4-5-7-8-9
You can call me up and have a date any old time
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (Oh baby)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (Hey, hey, yeah)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
