Ah-oooo, ah-oooo, ah-oooo, ah-oooo

Well, I went to a dance just the other night
E7                  A
Everybody there was there
I said over and over and over again
     E7                  A
This dance is gonna be a drag
I said over and over and over again
     E7                  A
This dance is gonna be a drag
I said over and over and over again
     E7                  A
This dance is gonna be a drag

Ah-oooo, ah-oooo, ah-oooo, ah-oooo

Verse 2:
All at once it happened, the prettiest in the world
I said-a "Won't you come over and a-talk to me
And be my girl?"
I said-a "Won't you come over and a-talk to me
And be my girl?"
I said-a "Won't you come over and a-talk to me
And be my girl?"

Verse 3:
She said she was sorry, and I was a little bit late
She would a-wait and a-wait and a-wait and a-wait
For her steady date
She would a-wait and a-wait and a-wait and a-wait
For her steady date
She would a-wait and a-wait and a-wait and a-wait
For her steady date
