Somebody Turn the Music On
Somebody turn the music on
Oh, let's dance away the night
Hold on to the song
Keep alive the feelin'
'Cause the feelin' drives you on
Somebody turn the music on
Somebody turn the music on
I was sippin' my tequila
Watchin' Sheila and a sailor at the bar
She had both her hands in his pockets
And all the kid could see was smoke and stars
In the corner by the staircase
There's Joanna with her eyes upon the door
And I wondered if she could make it happen
Like she had so many nights before
Everybody came here for somethin'
And they'll take whatever comes along
Somebody turn the music on
Oh, let's dance away the night
Hold on to the song
Keep alive the feelin'
'Cause the feelin' drives you on
Somebody turn the music on
Somebody turn the music on
When Melissa made her entrance
With her dancer and her new credit card
We all knew what she had intended
And the scene that was about to start
Through all the noise and confusion
I heard someone whisper in my ear
"Say, don't I know you from some place?
How often do you come in here?"
Now, we can talk about it
We've got all the time from now 'til dawn
Somebody turn the music on
Let's dance away the night
Hold on to the song
Keep alive the feelin'
'Cause the feelin' drives you on
Somebody turn the music on
Somebody turn the music on
So now you know my secret
To my survival and tried to song
Somebody turn the music on
Turn the music, turn the music on
Hold on to the song
Let the feelin' drive you on
Hold on to the song
Let the feelin' drive you on
Somebody turn the music on
Turn the music on
Oh, let's dance away the night
Hold on to the song
Keep alive the feelin'
'Cause the feelin' drives you on
Somebody turn the music on
Somebody turn the music on
I was sippin' my tequila
Watchin' Sheila and a sailor at the bar
She had both her hands in his pockets
And all the kid could see was smoke and stars
In the corner by the staircase
There's Joanna with her eyes upon the door
And I wondered if she could make it happen
Like she had so many nights before
Everybody came here for somethin'
And they'll take whatever comes along
Somebody turn the music on
Oh, let's dance away the night
Hold on to the song
Keep alive the feelin'
'Cause the feelin' drives you on
Somebody turn the music on
Somebody turn the music on
When Melissa made her entrance
With her dancer and her new credit card
We all knew what she had intended
And the scene that was about to start
Through all the noise and confusion
I heard someone whisper in my ear
"Say, don't I know you from some place?
How often do you come in here?"
Now, we can talk about it
We've got all the time from now 'til dawn
Somebody turn the music on
Let's dance away the night
Hold on to the song
Keep alive the feelin'
'Cause the feelin' drives you on
Somebody turn the music on
Somebody turn the music on
So now you know my secret
To my survival and tried to song
Somebody turn the music on
Turn the music, turn the music on
Hold on to the song
Let the feelin' drive you on
Hold on to the song
Let the feelin' drive you on
Somebody turn the music on
Turn the music on
