Lyrics
Dance, Boogie Wonderland, hey, hey
Dance, Boogie Wonderland
Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts of men
Who need more than they get
Daylight deals a bad hand to a woman
Who has laid too many bets
The mirror stares you in the face and says
“Baby, uh, uh, it don’t work”
You say your prayers though you don’t care
You dance and shake the hat
Dance, Boogie Wonderland, hey, hey
Dance, Boogie Wonderland
Sound fly through the night
I chase my vinyl dreams to Boogie Wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in Boogie Wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in Boogie Wonderland
All the love in the world can’t be gone
All the need to be loved can’t be wrong
All the records are playing and my heart keeps saying
“Boogie Wonderland, Wonderland”
Dance, Boogie Wonderland, hey, hey
Dance, Boogie Wonderland, hey, hey
I find romance when I start to dance in Boogie Wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in Boogie Wonderland
Dance, dance (Boogie Wonderland), dance, dance
Dance, dance (Boogie Wonderland), dance, dance
Wonderland
Wonderland
All the love in the world can’t be gone (love in the world can’t be gone)
All the need to be loved can’t be wrong (need to be loved can’t be wrong)
All the records are playing and my heart keeps saying
Boogie Wonderland, Wonderland
Dance, Boogie Wonderland, hey, hey
Dance, Boogie Wonderland, hey, hey
I find romance when I start to dance in Boogie Wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in Boogie Wonderland
Dance, dance, dance (Boogie Wonderland), dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance (Boogie Wonderland), dance
LOVE ALL OF THE OLD MUSIC IT WAS SO GREAT
