Lyrics

We're having a party

Dancing to the music

Played by the DJ

On the radio

The cokes are in the icebox

The popcorn's on the table

Me and my baby

We're out here on the floor

So listen, Mr. DJ

Keep those records playing

'Cause I'm having such a good time

Dancing with my baby

Everybody's swinging

Sally's doing that twist now

If you take requests

I've got a few for you

Play that song called "Soul Twist"

Play that one called "I Know"

Don't forget the "Mashed Potatoes"

No other songs will do

Let me tell you Mr., Mr. DJ

Keep those records playing

'Cause I'm having such a good time

Dancing with my baby

Having a party (yeah)

Everybody's swinging

Oh, we're dancing to the music (yeah)

On the radio

Oh, we're having a party (man)

Everybody's swinging

We're dancing to the music, yeah

On the radio (tell 'em one more time)

We're having a party (yeah)

Everybody's swinging

Oh, we're dancing to the music (yeah)

On the radio

Tell you, we're having a party (yeah)

Everybody's swinging
