Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I was dancing at a night club one Friday night
And that night club bar was a little uptight
Yeah, I was dancing all alone a little self-conscious
When some kids came up and said, "For dancing come with us"
And soon
[Verse 2]
I was dancing in the lesbian bar, ah-ooh, ah-ooh
I was dancing in the lesbian bar, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
Well, I was dancing in the lesbian bar
In the industrial zone
I was dancing with my friends
And dancing alone
[Verse 4]
Well, the first bar things were alright
But in this bar, things were Friday night
In the first bar things were just alright
This bar things were Friday night
[Verse 5]
And I was dancing in the lesbian bar, ah-ooh, ah-ooh
I was dancing in the lesbian bar, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 6]
Well, I was dancing in the lesbian bar
Way downtown
I was there to check the scene
And hang around
[Verse 7]
Well, the first bar things were stop and stare
But in this bar things were laissez-faire
In the first bar things were stop and stare
In this bar things were laissez-faire
[Verse 8]
And I was dancing in the lesbian bar, ah-ooh, ah-ooh
I was dancing in the lesbian bar, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 9]
In the first bar folks were drinking sips
But in this bar they could shake their hips
In the first bar they were drinking sips
In this bar they could shake their hips
[Verse 10]
And I was dancing in the lesbian bar, ah-ooh, ah-ooh
I was dancing in the lesbian bar, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 11]
(I was dancing in the lesbian bar, ah-ooh, ah-ooh)
(I was dancing in the lesbian bar, ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Verse 12]
Well, in the first bar, things were okay
But in this bar things were more my way
In the first bar things were just okay
In this bar things were done my way
[Verse 13]
And I was dancing in the lesbian bar, ah-ooh, ah-ooh
I was dancing in the lesbian bar, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 14]
Well, in the first bar things were controlled
But in this bar things were rock 'n' roll
In the first bar things were so controlled
In this bar things were way way bold
[Verse 15]
And I was dancing in the lesbian bar, ah-ooh, ah-ooh
I was dancing in the lesbian bar, ooh, ooh, ooh
