We are romantics by the light of the four-way

'Cause you ain't never had a night on the town

Like I could show you such a night on the town

And you ain't never had a song you could sing

Well it's a deep, dark night, and I hear you, I've been there

Em
But these are the songs that we sing

          G
Whoa-oh, these are the songs that we sing

                     D        D
You've never seen a two step (two-step)

                                 C
Like when you seen it from your mama's house

                                           Em
When the kids flash like lightning to the very best dancers around

We learned from the very best dancers around

                      D
We learned from the very best dancers in town

Come take my hand

                        G
'Cause mama we came to dance
