Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When it feels like the world is on your shoulders
And all of the madness has got you goin' crazy
It's time to get out, step out on the street
Where all the action is right there at your feet
[Verse 2]
Well, I know a place where we can dance the whole night away
Underneath electric stars
Just come with me and we can shake your blues right away
You'll be doin' fine once the music starts, oh
[Verse 3]
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
Dance until the morning light
Forget about the worries on your mind
You can leave them all behind
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
Oh, the rhythm of the night, oh yeah
[Verse 4]
Look out on the street now
The party is just beginning
The music's playin'
A celebration's starting
Under the street light
The scene is bein' set
A night for romance
A night you won't forget
[Verse 5]
So, come join the fun
This ain't no time to be stayin' home
Ooh, there's too much goin' on, oh
Tonight is gonna be a night like you've never known
We're gonna have a good time the whole night long, oh
[Verse 6]
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
Dance until the morning light
Forget about the worries on your mind
You can leave them all behind
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
Oh, the rhythm of the night, oh yeah
[Verse 7]
Come join the fun
This ain't no time to be stayin' home
Ooh, there's too much goin' on, oh
Tonight is gonna be a night like you've never known
We're gonna have a good time the whole night long, oh
[Verse 8]
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
Dance until the morning light
Forget about the worries on your mind
You can leave them all behind
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
Dance until the morning light
Forget about the worries on your mind
[Verse 9]
Feel the beat of the rhythm of the night
Ahh baby, ahh darlin'
Forget about the worries on your mind
Ooh, ooh baby
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
Ahh baby, ooh, ooh
Forget about the worries on your mind
[Verse 10]
(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)
The music's playin'
(La, la, la, la)
It's a celebration
The music's playin'
Everybody dance
[Verse 11]
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
Oh, oh, oh, whoa
Forget about the worries on your mind
'Cause you can leave them all behind
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
Dance until the morning light
Forget about the worries on your mind
You can leave them all behind
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
Oh, oh, oh, whoa
