Chorus

Dance, boogie wonderland, hah, hahDance, boogie wonderland

Verse 1

Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts of menWho need more than they getDaylight deals a bad hand to a womanWho has laid too many bets
The mirror stares you in the faceAnd says "Baby, uh, uh, it don't work"You say your prayers though you don't careYou dance and shake the hurt
