Old Man sits at the bar, he's not lonely
He's just waiting for his song on karaoke
Sits in the same spot every Monday
Just to sing his song, I Wanna Dance With Somebody
I Wanna Dance With Somebody

Bartender is a borderline genius
She dropped out of school 'cause she couldn't pay the fees
She makes a strong drink and she reads the Sunday paper
She loves when that one guy sings I Wanna Dance With Somebody
I Wanna Dance With Somebody

Driver waits outside on the corner
His passenger forgot that she ordered
So he says: Fuck it, I think I'll go inside
I've been alone all night and now I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna dance with somebody

Birthday girl is pretending to be social
She hates this bar and she hates karaoke
The man up now reminds her of her father
They used to sing this song in the car, I Wanna Dance with Somebody
