Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It was a Saturday night without a whole lot shakin'
Ooh my, ooh my, I was bored
I had my best duds on, it was a chance worth takin'
Somehow I was still ignored
[Verse 2]
Been too long since I been shy and lonely
Ooh but that's okay
Need some gal to be my one and only
Ooh
[Verse 3]
I got a wink and a smile from a flashy filly
Ooh my, ooh my, she looked grand
She said, "I like your style, now don't go actin' silly"
Ooh my, ooh, she grabbed my hand
[Verse 4]
Never thought that I could shake and groove it
Now I'm a dancin' fool
Dug my feet 'cause they could really move it
Ooh
[Verse 5]
She got the message across and me and her got kissin'
Ooh my, ooh my, havin' fun
I know that this is the thing that I been really missin'
One more dance has just begun
[Verse 6]
No more time for feeling shy and lonely
Now I'm a dancin' fool
Found some gal to be my one and only
Ooh, I'm a dancin' fool
[Verse 7]
Been too long since I been shy and lonely
Now I'm a dancin' fool
(I'm a dancin' fool, I'm a dancer)
Been too long since I been shy and lonely
Now I'm a dancin' fool
(I'm a dancin' fool, I'm a dancer)
[Verse 8]
Been too long, been too long
Now I'm a dancin' fool
Been too long since I been shy and lonely
Now I'm a dancin' fool
Been too long, been too long
[Verse 9]
Now I'm a dancin' fool
(I'm a dancin' fool, I'm a dancer)
Been too long since I been shy and lonely
Now I'm a dancin' fool
