Every single night We will dim the light And then dance like Fred Astaire It all began about a year ago As you were leaving for the night You said you'd stay and watch just one more video Something old in black and white I found a film we hadn't seen before We watched it time and time again A skinny guy came slowly dancing through the door And we were captured there and then Every single night We will dim the light And then you slick back your hair We roll back the mat We put on your hat And you dance like Fred Astaire I got a poster here beside my bed From the video we saw And when I look at you, it's you I see instead In the top and tails he wore Every single night We will dim the light And then you slick back your hair We roll back the mat We put on your hat And you dance like Fred Astaire Every single night We will dim the light And then you slick back your hair We roll back the mat We put on your hat And you dance like Fred Astaire You danced your way Out of yesterday With the magic in your feet Mister Fred Astaire With the slicked back hair And the style that can't be beat Every single night We will dim the light And then you slick back your hair We roll back the mat We put on your hat And you dance like Fred Astaire Every single night We will dim the light And then you slick back your hair We roll back the mat We put on your hat And you dance like Fred Astaire
