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.
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.

Refr. But I'm dancing in the moonlight. It's caught me in it's spotlight.
(It's alright, alright) Dancing in the moonlight on this long hot summer night.
2. 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.
Now, I won't get out 'til Sunday. I'll have to say I stayed with friends.
Oh, but it's a habit worth forming, if it means to justify the end.
Refr.
