Well the night is young and no one is dancing
and the ladies’ arms are sure to get rusty
while the gentlemen drink the dance floor gets dusty
‘ cuz no one dares to go dancing tonight

Well the night is young and no one is dancing
and the band plays on and no one is clapping
while the bartender sweeps the toes are not tapping
'cuz no one dared to go dancing tonight

No one is slamming or hopping like pogos
they’re too drunk too trot and too high to swing low
the waltz is forgotten and no one remembers the tango

Well the night is young and no one is dancing
except for the one whose friends all but left her
to fend for herself dancing with no one
‘ cuz no one dared to go dancing tonight

Hi-yee-ah no one is dancing and we’re slowly becoming alone and shy
Hi-yee-ah no one is dancing and we’re not getting thirsty enough to try

Well the night is young and no one is dancing
and the lights go on the room seems quite empty
and the crowd went home to see what’s on TV
‘ cuz no one dared to go dancing

Well the night is young and no one is dancing
and the ladies don’t go out as often
and the gentlemen wonder what might’ve happened
if someone dared to go dancing...

Hi-yee-ah no one is dancing
and we’re slowly becoming alone and shy
Hi-yee-ah no one is dancing
and we’re not getting thirsty enough to try...
