The Silver Bells - All I Want Tonight Is a Dance

(One, two, three, four!)

There’s a ribbon on the doorway

There’s a record on the floor

Everybody’s dressed up pretty

And nobody’s sitting anymore

Mama’s laughing in the kitchen

Daddy’s tapping to the beat

And somebody turned the Christmas lights on Just to make the room

look sweet (Ooh, tonight!) All I want tonight is a dance

So come on, baby,

take my hand

Let the whole December night

Spin us round beneath the lights

I don’t need a fancy present

I don’t need a holiday plan

All I want tonight is a dance

All I want tonight is a dance

Your tie is hanging crooked

My shoes are slipping too

But when that rhythm starts to play

I don’t care what we do

There’s mistletoe above us

There’s laughter down the hall

And if they keep that record spinning We might never stop at

all

(Never stop!)

Maybe Christmas isn’t waiting

In a box beneath the tree

Maybe Christmas is this moment When you’re dancing here with me

(Here

with me!) So turn it up a little louder

Let the neighbors understand! (Understand!)

Come on!

(Come on!) Everybody! (Everybody!)

All I want tonight is a dance So come on,

baby, take my hand

Let the whole December night

Spin us round beneath the lights

Let the children laugh upstairs

Let the grown-ups join the band All I want tonight is a

dance All I want tonight is a dance

What do you want?

(A dance!) What do you want?

(A dance!) What do you want tonight? (A

DANCE!) All I want tonight is a

dance!
