[Verse]
We are the F#mlast of the jukebox RAomeos,
We are romEantics by the light of the foDurway
Came to sing out a cF#mhorus, reinvent the gAood times
Bringin it aEll back home agDain
[Chorus]
Honey we came to dF#mance with the girls with the stars in their eyes
Do the jAump back jack stop and slide to the right
NEever break their hearts, never make 'em cry, come oDn
Strike up the bF#mand, play a song that everybody knows
If IA'm not your kind then don't tell a soul
IE'm not the one who hates being alone, so come oDn
[Interlude]
F#m A E D
while guitar two repeats intro riff

And in this F#munstable arena
Of what's lAeft or become of my America
I'm aEsking this dance, so come take my hand, come oDn
And in this F#munstable arena
Of what's lAeft or become of my America
I'm aEsking this dance, so come take my hand, come oDn, come on
[Chorus]
Honey we came to dF#mance with the girls with the stars in their eyes
Do the jAump back jack stop and slide to the right
NEever break their hearts, never make 'em cry, come oDn
Strike up the bF#mand, play a song that everybody knows
If IA'm not your kind then don't tell a soul
IE'm not the one who hates being alone, so come oDn
[Bridge]
And if theyF#m...end it all by theA end of tonight
If the bEig bomb drops down over this qDuiet Edison sky
We'll blowF#m... one last kiss
Ato all the beautiful nights like this
UnderE the central Jersey sDky
[Chorus]
Honey we came to F#mdance with the girls with the stars in their eyes
Do the jF#mump back jack stop and slide to the right
Never brF#meak their hearts, never make 'em cry, come on
Strike up the bF#mand, play a song that everybody knows
If IA'm not your kind then don't tell a soul
IE'm not the one who hates being alone, so come oDn
[Outro]
'Cause you ain't nF#mever had a night on the town
Like I could sAhow you such a night on the town
And you ain't nEever had a song you could sing
Well it's a dDeep, dark night, and I hear you, I've been there
But tF#mhese are the songs that we sing
Whoa-oh, thAese are the songs that we sing
You've never seen a tEwo step (two-step)
Like when you seen it from your mDama's house
When the kids flash like lightning to the vF#mery best dancers around
We learned from the vAery best dancers around
We learned from the vEery best dancers in town
Come take my hDand, 'Cause mama we came to daAnce
