I Gotta Dance To Keep From Crying

Come on, everybody

We're gonna have a party!

I'm tired of sitting around feeling blue

Gather 'round me, swingers and friends

Help me forget my hurt within

I've lost the only girl I ever loved

The only one I'm thinkin' of

And I've got to dance to keep from cryin' (Dance to keep from crying)

I've got to dance to keep from cryin', oh (Dance to keep from crying)

Do the monkey (Do the monkey)

Do the twist (Do the twist)

Everybody, it goes like this

Come on and dance for me, swingers, it's alright

Dance for me, swingers, alright

'Cause nights are lonely since we parted

Her memories leave me so broken hearted

Gotta dance to keep from cryin' (Crying)

I've got to dance to keep from crying, oh (Crying)

Do the bird (Do the bird)

Do the fly (Do the fly)

Come on, gang, and pop, pop, pop, pop

Do the dance that you will (Oh yeah)

Everybody dance, don't sit still

Dance for me, swingers, alright

Dance for me, swingers, alright

Heartaches have gathered 'round me

Misery has surely found me

Got to dance to keep from cryin' (Crying)

I've got to dance to keep from crying', oh (Crying)

Gather 'round me, girls and boys (Alright)

I think we're making up too much noise (Alright)

So get soft

Oh, just a little bit soft

Oh, just a little bit soft, soft, soft

Just a little bit softer, softer, softer

(Just a little bit higher) Ooh

Just a little bit softer (Just a little bit higher)

I guess I've got to turn it up (Just a little bit higher)

I guess I've got to turn it up (Just a little bit higher)

I guess I've got to turn it up (Just a little bit higher)

Higher (Just a little bit higher)

Just a wee bit higher (Just a little bit higher)

All the way up

Come on and dance for me, swingers (Alright)

Dance for me, swingers (Alright)

A-do that monkey, a-do that twist (Alright)

Everybody, do the fish (Alright)

A-do the bird, do the fly (Alright)

Come on, you can do it if you try (Alright)

Dance for me, swingers (Alright)

Dance for me, swingers
