Live 08 Aug 1975 version
One, two!
Ah, one! Two!
That's all right
All right, now
Whoa
Well there these sparkling angels on your fire escape
They're gonna lie to your mama for you, trying to keep you safe
You're with them fire alley virgins on a midnight vamp
You lost your heart on Main Street to a beautiful tramp
That's all right
You look fine
Got a love so fine (a love so fine)
Got a love so fine (a love so fine)
Got a love so fine (a love so fine)
Got a love so fine (a love so fine)
Well rat's trap's filled with soul crusaders
They're all popping and hopping and jumping to Little Melvin and The Invaders
You're out on the floor, you can't get up
Your baby's out there dancing that Continental Strut
She looks so good
She blows your mind
You're in a love so fine (a love so fine)
You're in a love so fine (a love so fine)
You're in a love so fine (a love so fine)
A love so fine (a love so fine)
All right!
(Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah)
(Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
All right, it's all right
Everybody's reeling when the band hits the ceiling
Don't you know you just wanna go
The joint starts rocking, your knees start knocking
Everybody wanna go
Let's go!
Three in the morning and the bar's close down
You're walking with your baby to the bad side of town
Little kids, they ask for her number
They call to her up, because they wanna love her!
That's all right, you don't mind
You're in a love so fine (you're in a love so fine)
A love so fine (you're in a love so fine)
A love so fine (you're in a love so fine)
A love so fine (a love so fine)
Oh, go!
[Spoken:] Take a little breather. Be in this room here tonight about this time. Start it on beat.
We're having a party (having a party)
Dancing to the music (dancing to the music)
Played by the DJ (played by the DJ)
On the radio (on the radio)
The Coke's are in the icebox (in the icebox)
The popcorn's on the table (oh, yeah, on the table)
Me and my baby
We're out there on the floor
We're having a party (having a party)
Everybody's swinging
Dancing to the music
On the radio
So Mister, Mister DJ
Keep those records playing
'Cause I'm having such a good time
Dancing with my baby
Yes it is.
