Dancing Through the Night: Betty Lawless's Musical Tale of Love and Adventure
Lyrics
Get ready for the evening
Preparing for the upcoming evening.
Just to be on the scene
Ensuring presence at a social event or gathering.
Got to be on the prowl sugar
Being active and seeking romantic opportunities.
Honey
An affectionate term, expressing intimacy.
If you know what I mean
Hinting at a shared understanding or connection.
Going for drive about half past nine try to get himself in line
Heading out around 9:30, attempting to get organized.
He gotta find himself a fine groovy young lady making sure she just costs a dime oh no no no
Searching for an attractive, cost-conscious young lady.
She's going out in the town
The woman is going out for an enjoyable time.
Just to get it down now now
Engaging in the social scene and having a good time.
She wanna meet bad bad man
Expressing a desire to meet a rebellious man.
Plays in a rock n roll band
Interested in someone who plays in a rock and roll band.
Going for a walk out for little talk with her dolled-up friends on the stalk
Taking a stroll and chatting with stylish friends.
She gotta find herself a tall
Searching for a tall and handsome young man.
Handsome young man that won't ever give her backtalk oh no no no
Preferring a man who won't argue or give backtalk.
Say they really go together
Asserting that the couple complements each other well.
You better believe
Emphasizing the sincerity of the statement.
Like birds of a feather sugar
Comparing the compatibility to birds of a feather.
Honey
Reiterating the affectionate term for intimacy.
If you know what I mean
Reinforcing the shared understanding between them.
Boys will be boys and girls will be girls as long as they can dance
Commenting on the natural tendencies of boys and girls, emphasizing the importance of dancing.
They gotta get down fast while the night lasts before they find em another romance
Encouraging quick enjoyment of the night before seeking new romantic interests.
