She was a be-bop baby on a hard day's night She was hangin' on Johnny, he was holdin' on tight I could feel her coming from a mile away There was no use talking, there was nothing to say When the band began to play and play
Chorus: And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced We were liars in love and we danced Swept away for a moment by chance And we danced and danced and danced
I met my be-bop baby at the Union Hall She could dance all night and shake the pain of the walls But when I saw her smile across a crowded room Well I knew we'd have to leave the party soon As the band began to play out of tune
Chorus
The endless beat, she's walkin' my way Hear the music fade when she says Are whe getting too close, do we dare to get closer The room was spinning as she whispers my name And we danced
