Píseň: Dim, Dim the Lights

Interpret:
Bill Haley
Album:
Rock Around The Clock
Oh, what a crazy party
All the gang's here too
The beat is really jumping
Like a kangaroo


I'm full of cherry soda
And potato chips
But now I wanna get a taste
Of your sweet lips


So, dim, dim the lights
(Dim, dim the lights)
Dim, dim the lights
(Dim, dim the lights)
Turn down the lights
I want some atmosphere


The furniture is bouncing
Round the room with glee
And rocking like a boat
Upon a stormy sea


But dig the crazy clock
It's running wild tonight
But still I haven't had
A chance to hold you tight


So, dim, dim the lights
(Dim, dim the lights)
Dim, dim the lights
(Dim, dim the lights)
Turn down the lights
I want some atmosphere


Look at Annie's earrings
Bouncing off her back
Look at Suzie kissing
And a-hugging Jack


Look at Nancy dancing
In her stocking feet
We're all going crazy
With the mambo beat


But everybody's really
Having lots of fun
But, honey, as for me
The night has just begun


'Cause now I wanna tell you things
And hold you tight
But how can I do it
With the room so bright


So, dim, dim the lights
(Dim, dim the lights)
Dim, dim the lights
(Dim, dim the lights)
Turn down the lights
I want some atmosphere


But everybody's really
Having lots of fun
But, honey, as for me
The night has just begun


'Cause now I wanna tell you things
And hold you tight
But how can I do it
With the room so bright


So, dim, dim the lights
(Dim, dim the lights)
Dim, dim the lights
(Dim, dim the lights)
Turn down the lights
I want some atmosphere
