Oh darling, I wanted to leave but I had to stay;
Boys would have laughed if I'd run away, I've been
Roaming and reeling and rocking night all round town,
Been walking and talking night all round town,
Been rolling and rocking night all round town.
Let the morning bring me home;
Let the morning bring me home.

Well they say it's all right, we go out all night,
Well they say it's all right, we go out all night.
I tell you there's been no romancing;
There's been no fancy pantsing.
I've been dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing.

Oh darling, I want you to try to understand:
If you're leading the life of a music man, you've got to
Walk around and reel around and rock around all around town.
Walk around and talk around all around town.
Go rolling and rocking night all around town,
'Til the morning takes you home;
'Til the morning takes you home.

Oh darling, it's going to be late when I get back home;
Can't wait 'til I get back home, you don't want me
Reeling and rocking night all around town.
Walking and talking night all around town,
Going rolling and rocking night all around town.
Don't let the other man take you home;
Don't let another man take you home.

Well they say it's all right, to go out all night;
Well they say it's all right, to go out all night.
I tell you there's been no romancing;
There's been no fancy pantsing,
Just been life enhancing, take a chance in
Dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing.
