Moonlight

Walking in the moonlight 
With a beautiful girl 
We arrive outside the ballroom 
and I give her a twirl . 
A little bit of Salsa ,
A waltz and then a jive
Then a little disco dancing 
When we hear the band play , Staying alive.

You're the one that I want 
That lovely song from Grease
Then we Tango on the terrace 
I pray this night will never cease .
The people stood there queuing 
Think we're crazy as sin 
Grooving to the music
but making no effort to go in . 

In this beautiful moonlight 
I hold you as we dance 
We are wrapped up in each other
Enjoying our romance .
Dancing and singing 
Kissing every once in a while 
The people in the queue 
Now begin to like our style . 

The big burly men on the front door
really get a shock 
When they see you and I 
Lead a conga around the block .
So many people 
Laughing and having fun 
A little hokey pokey 
We show them how it should be done.

Huddled together 
As I walk you home 
Kissing at the front door 
You promise you will phone
I'm ecstatic next morning 
When I hear my telephone ring
but I know it was the moonlight 
That made two hearts begin to sing.
