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
