i saw a girl on a northern dancefloor
i went to her thinking only of romance
i didn't stand the chance
you ought to see her dance
the people all stood around
i tried to show some genuine affection
could be a chance of a close connection
i didn't know she was there for just one thing
'cause when the band played
you ought to see her swing
you ought to see her dance
the people all stood around
and when the dance was nearly over
i decided i was really gonna show her
i took a drink and i went to join the fun
that's when the fun had just begun
you ought to see me dance
the people all stood around
