And feel the ultraviolet show the fluff up on my collar

They'd play Otis Redding Sam and Dave and Wilson Pickett
|
Prince Buster The Skatelites and the Bees Would be buzzing their horns
|
The boys would dance like robots The girls would walk a fashionable slink

And got right back on the dance floor And that was that
|
|
