She was a mixed up, muddled up girl in the rain
Wore his high school ring on a gold-plated chain (Gold-plated chain)
Her skirt was short, tight sweater but her IQ was high
When she took off her glasses all the teachers would cry
"Don't stand around, go straight to the gym
You've got to get in that line or you won't dance with him"
Most of the girls like to dance
Most of the girls like to dance
Most of the girls like to dance but only some of the boys do

His hair was slicked back wet from his walk to the prom
His dad was drunk and his mama didn't know he was gone (Know he was gone)
He took the floor like a dancer from the Bolshoi ballet
Picked a girl from the line and heard a cheerleader say
"I think I'm in love, it's gone to my head
I dream of him dancing each night in my bed"
Most of the girls like to dance
Most of the girls like to dance
Most of the girls like to dance but only some of the boys do

Some of the boys do

Don't you know that the girls love it when you move?"
Most of the girls like to dance
Most of the girls like to dance
Most of the girls like to dance but only some of the boys do
Some of the boys do
Some of the boys do
Some of the boys do
Got to, some of the boys

Won't dance with you
You got to
