Dancing In the Moonlight (It's Caught Me In a Spotlight) [Live At the Regal Theatre, 1983]
You need to sing it
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
When I passed you in the doorway
Well, you took me with a glance
I should have took that last bus home
But I asked you for a dance
Now we go steady to the pictures
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
And my father he's going crazy
Says I'm living in a trance
But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight, it's alright
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night
It's three o'clock in the morning
And I'm on the streets again
I disobeyed another warning
I should have been in by ten
Now I won't get out 'til Sunday
I'll have to say I stayed with a friend
Oh, but it's a habit worth forming
If it means to justify the end
Dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight, it's alright
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night
And I'm walking home
Last bus is gone
Ooh, you, ooh, you
Oh, yeah-yeah
But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night
Dancing in the moonlight
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Wanna hear you sing it
Whoa-oh-oh
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Dancing in the moonlight
It's so godamn hot
It's caught me
Ah, ya-ya-ya
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
When I passed you in the doorway
Well, you took me with a glance
I should have took that last bus home
But I asked you for a dance
Now we go steady to the pictures
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
And my father he's going crazy
Says I'm living in a trance
But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight, it's alright
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night
It's three o'clock in the morning
And I'm on the streets again
I disobeyed another warning
I should have been in by ten
Now I won't get out 'til Sunday
I'll have to say I stayed with a friend
Oh, but it's a habit worth forming
If it means to justify the end
Dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight, it's alright
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night
And I'm walking home
Last bus is gone
Ooh, you, ooh, you
Oh, yeah-yeah
But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night
Dancing in the moonlight
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Wanna hear you sing it
Whoa-oh-oh
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Dancing in the moonlight
It's so godamn hot
It's caught me
Ah, ya-ya-ya
