Lyrics

How did you get here?
Amalfi
Blue skies, blue sea
It’s a long way from Siberia
How did you get here?
Jumped the barrier at Orly Airport
Claimed political asylum there
Took all the KGB boys by surprise
I think they thought that you would never dare
But you knew you had to take a risk
You broke the rules over and over again
A fiery talent with a reputation
A trouble-maker among sombre men
(Dancing)
When the streets of London sang with pop stars
Well the truth is that they always do
In the 60s you could feel the freedom
And the brightest star in town was you
Always a scandal and a real heart-breaker
Boys and girls both threw themselves at you
(Dancing star)
That’s how bright you shine
(Dancing star)
When all your stars align
(Dancing star)
More power than a czar
(Yes, you are)
You’re a dancing star
(Dancing, dancing)
(Dancing, dancing)
(Dancing, dancing)
(Dancing, dancing)
(Yes, you are)
You’re a dancing star
Paris
New York
Copenhagen
Vienna
San Francisco
St Petersburg
The world wanted you
How bright you shone
And still shine now
Although you’ve gone
(Dancing star)
That’s what you are
(Came so far)
You’re a dancing star
(Dancing star)
More power than a czar
(Yes, you are)
You’re a dancing star
(Dancing, dancing)
(Dancing, dancing)
(Dancing, dancing)
(Dancing, dancing)
You’re a dancing star
