[Verse]
When I pEmassed you in the dDoorway
Well, you Ctook me with a glanceG  
EmI should have took that lDast bus home
But I Casked you for a danceG  
Now we Emgo steady to the picDtures
I alCways get chocolate stains Gon my pants
EmAnd my father he's Dgoing crazy
He Csays I'm living in a tranceG  
[Chorus]
But I'm Ddancing in the Emmoonlight
DIt's caught me in its Cspotlight
It's Galright, alright
Dancing in the Emmoonlight

And I'm Con the streets agGain
EmI disobeyed another Dwarning
I Cshould have been in by Gten
Now I Emwon't get out until SDunday
I'll have Cto say I stayed with fGriends
EmOh, but it's a habit worth Dforming
If it Cmeans to justify the endG
