Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Now we go steady to the pictures
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
And my father, he's going crazy
He says I'm living in a trance
[Verse 3]
But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight (It's all right, all right)
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long, hot summer night
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Now I won't get out till Sunday
I'll have to say I stayed with friends
Oh, but it's a habit worth forming
If it means to justify the ends
[Verse 6]
Dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight (It's all right, all right)
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long, hot summer night
[Verse 7]
And I'm walking home
The last bus is long gone
But I'm dancing in the moonlight
[Verse 8]
Dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight (It's all right, all right)
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long, hot summer night
[Verse 9]
Dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long, hot summer night
[Verse 10]
Dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight (It's all right, all right)
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long, hot summer night
[Verse 11]
Dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long, hot summer night
