Verse 1: Went into the dance club at about 10 o'clock.
I looked all around me; 'bout went into shock.
There were folks on the dance floor and some in the halls.
Some nut on a table was
tearin' down walls.
That dude could dance.
Chorus: People just want to dance. People just want to dance.
They got ants in their pants. They all want to dance.
Get up and dance!
Verse 2: See the guy in the corner. He just got turned down.
Walked up to that brunette who didn't want him around.
Sure she looks pretty fine, but that's just one thing.
The guy in the corner wants only one thing.
He wants to dance.
Bridge: I don't know where they all get their energy.
I don't know what they put in their drinks.
But, they're
doin' somethin' I can't say what
Got into their blood; makes them start to strut.
Chorus: People just want to dance. People just want to dance.
They got ants in their pants. They all want to dance.
Get up and dance!
Verse 3: It's coming on midnight and his mood's coming down.
But, he feels a tap on his shoulder and he starts to turn 'round.
At first, he is speechless as he catches her eyes.
From the top of that long, blonde head to those sexy green eyes.
She says, "Lets dance!"
Verse 4: Time to get down now, honey! Show me your stuff.
He picks up his courage. He starts to get rough.
She's
starin' him up and down and she's gettin' him hot.
But, he gains his control now, 'cause he likes what she's got.
And, they could dance.
Chorus: People just want to dance. People just want to dance.
They got ants in their pants. They all want to dance.
Get up and dance!
