dancing in a small room

[[ At its simplest level, just two people dancing in a confined space (maybe the kitchen at a party) and falling in love. ]]

dancing in a small room
dancing with the world
dancing with the world
dancing with the world (with the world)
turning round my head

dancing in a small room
just you and you and me
just you and me and you
just me and you and you (you you you)
turning my head round

dancing in a small room
if I said I love you
if you said I love you
if I said I love you (I love you)
turning my world round

dancing with Bobby

[[ I like writing to a video, a movie, usually with the sound down. This one started with that Bobby Banas Nitty Gritty clip that went around. ]]

Who's that dancing out there with our baby Bobby? (dancing with baby Bobby)
White dress, white shoes, white ribbon
She can hardly keep her hands off baby Bobby (hands off baby Bobby!)
White dress, white shoes, white ribbon

Does Bobby even go - for a girl like that?
Would Bobby maybe go - for a girl like me?
Does Bobby even go - for the girls at all? Like, really.
Does Bobby even go? Let's see.

Here comes Bobby
Pouring though the crowd
Hair set to midnight
Smile set to loud

Listen to Bobby, baby,
What does he say?
He says "Can't get enough of this beat"
He says "Can't help but move my feet"

 

we kill all vampires

watch everyone around you

every soul you see

is shedding misery

we kill all vampires

every Saturday night

we take an antidote before we go

to prepare our souls for the fight

we resurrect our monsters

bring them back from the dead

to kill them one more time

we kill all vampires

every Saturday night

we push a cure as pure as we dare

to keep off the vampire's bite

when we are conjuring our own ghosts

out there in the back

we reach way way down 

we reach way way down into our killer kits

and prepare for attack

we kill all vampires

every Saturday night

we take an antidote before we go

to prepare our souls for the fight

we kill all vampires

every Saturday night

we push a cure as pure as we dare

to keep off the vampire's bite
