And I look across the river

Where they dance the night away

Men dressed in black tie

The ladies in gowns

A taxi pulls up

Drives them across the street,

Takes them to a place

Where they dance the night away

Where they dance the night away

I reach in the drawer

And I take out respect

It doctors the sickness

I took years to perfect

And I feel sweet sleep

Like the shadows on a charm

Moves to my brain

Where I dance the night away

Dance the night away

Dance the night away
