Lyrics:

Track #8 on Kings of Convenience’s second album Riot on an Empty Street.
I'd rather dance with you than talk with you
So why don't we just move into the other room?
There's space for us to shake and hey, I like this tune
Even if I could hear what you said
I doubt my reply would be interesting for you to hear
Because I haven't read a single book all year
And the only film I saw, I didn't like it at all

I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you

The music's too loud and the noise from the crowd
Increases the chance of misinterpretation

So let your hips do the talking
I'll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings
And you'll make me smile by really getting into the swing

Getting into the swing
Getting into the swing
Getting into the swing
Getting into the swing

Getting into the swing
Getting into the swing
Getting into the swing
Getting into the swing

I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you

I'd rather dance with you
I'd rather dance with you
