Oh I see a man a the back, its a matter of fact his eyes are as red as the sun
And the girl in the corner, let no one ignore her

Now the man at the back, he's ready to crack as he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner, is everyones moaner 
                                         G
She'll kill you with the wink of her eye OH YEA

It was electric, so vertically hectic
                     D                           G
And the band started leaving, and we all stopped breathing

and it turned into a ballroom blitz
C                              A
