I saw a girl on a northern dance floor..

she looked sixteen, she could have been 

more.
D                                A
I went to her thinking only of romance..
             E            D
but when the band played, man, I didn't 
        A
stand a chance..all she wanna do was..

Dance, dance, dance, you ought to see her dance. 
D
Dance, dance, dance, move over, give her a chance. 
          E                        D
Well, the people all stood around..watching her lay 

it down. 
          A             E                A
She could dance, dance, dance the night away.

I tried to show some genuine affection..could be a 

chance of a close connection.
D                                        A
I didn't know she was there for just one thing.  
               E            D                         A
Cause when the band played, man, you ought to see her swing.. 

swing down easy.

And when the dance was nearly over I decided I was really 

gonna show her. 
         D                            A
I took a drink and I went to join the fun..(that's when the 
                                  E            D
fun had just begun)..and when the band played, man, I was 
          A
second to none.
