When I Go Dancing Out There

(to be sang to the tune of I Saw Her Standing There)

WHEN I GO DANCING OUT THERE
	
Well, I’m turning seventy,
will have a party.
And the way l feel
is way beyond compare
for I could still dance like no other
Ooh, when I go dancing out there.

Well, they looked at me
and they, they could see
I can dance so long,
way too long than others,
more energy like no other. 
Ooh, when I go dancing out there. 

Well, my mind went wild,
when I knew about
the plan celebrating me.
  
Oh, my heart was so touched
and feeling so buzzed with such
lovely gift for me,
is way beyond compare.
Now all I want is be the dancer.
Ooh, when I go dancing out there.

Well, my mind went wild,
when I knew about
the plan celebrating me.

Oh, I’ll dance through the night,
to my heart’s desire, delight,
swing and disco moves.
My children will be there,
all together for me, their mother.
Ooh, when I go dancing out there.
Ooh, when I go dancing out there.
Yeah, well when I go dancing out there.

NOTE:        One of the earliest Beatles' song.
                  John Lennon and I have the same
                  birthday (October 9) and I love to
                  dance, so this is for him and me,
                  although Paul McCartney wrote it.
