Lyrics

(Ba-oo-ba-ya) (Ba-oo-ba-ya) Oh, what a crazy party, all the gang's here too The beat is really jumpin' like a kangaroo I'm full of cherry soda and potato chips But now I wanna get a taste of your sweet lips So dim, dim the lights (dim, dim the lights) Dim, dim the lights (dim, dim the lights) Turn down the lights I want some atmosphere The furniture was bouncin' round the room with glee And rockin' like a boat upon a stormy sea I dig the crazy flock that's runnin' wild tonight But still I haven't had a chance to hold you tight So dim, dim the lights (dim, dim the lights) Dim, dim the lights (dim, dim the lights) Turn down the lights I want some atmosphere Look at Annie's earrings bouncin' off the back Look at Susie kissin' and huggin' Jack Look at Nancy dancin' in her stockinged feet We're all goin' crazy with the mambo beat (Ba-oo-ba-oo-ba-oo-ba-oo) well, everybody's really havin' lots of fun But honey, as for me, the night has just begun 'Cause now I wanna tell you things and hold you tight But how can I do it with the room so bright? So dim, dim the lights (dim, dim the lights) Dim, dim the lights (dim, dim the lights) Turn down the lights I want some atmosphere Well, everybody's really havin' lots of fun But honey, as for me, the night has just begun 'Cause now I wanna tell you things and hold you tight But how can I do it with the room so bright? So dim, dim the lights (dim, dim the lights) Dim, dim the lights (dim, dim the lights) Turn down the lights I want some atmosphere
