This is the last dance 
This is the last dance 
This is the last dance 
So twist and shout 
This is the last dance 
This is the last dance 
The bouncer is waiting 
For you to cut out 

It's the last chance for you, little teeny-vamps 
To stumble around in high-heeled shoes 
The last one to show that you're grown up and free 
Then go home, Mom and Daddy are angry with you 

And the peeping Toms there, at the edge of the dance floor 
Cool guys singing the lonely man's blues 
This is your deadline, pull yourself together 
And then you will kiss the girl next to you 

Heroes of the boozer's battle! 
This is the last, stale sip of the night 
Make it snappy, kill the bottle 
And then I want you to crawl out of sight 

It's the last dance 
This is the last dance 
You are the loosers 
In a phoney game 
This is the break of dawn 
This ia he cruel hour 
It's like a cold shower 
For a freezing man
